The Obama administration has been convening foreign
delegates, investors and executives at its annual SelectUSA
Investment Summit since 2013.
SelectUSA, created in 2011, is a federal effort to promote the
United States as a business location.
This year's summit is designed to connect investors with local,
state and regional economic development organizations, the White
House said in a statement.
More than 2,600 people from nearly 80 countries are expected to
attend, including Eric Schmidt, executive chairman of Google,
and David Rubenstein, co-chief executive of the Carlyle Group
LP, the White House said.
