Spotlight on SelectUSA 2025

Last week, The Innovation Exchange was proud to participate in the 2025 Select USA Investment Summit, held at the Gaylord National Resort in National Harbor, Maryland. With a large delegation of  over 25 ambitious companies —  the themes  that stood out were  innovation, resilience and global ambition. Backed by the U.S. Embassy in Dublin, the delegation brought together firms from a wide range of sectors, including technology, professional services, and advanced manufacturing. Over the course of the summit, Irish companies engaged in vital discussions on market entry, growth opportunities, and the evolving demands of U.S. expansion. The event provided deep insight into transformative global trends — from infrastructure investments to the acceleration of the digital economy and international climate strategies. The U.S. continues to be an attractive market for global entrepreneurs, offering access to scale, a strong economy, and strategic advantages. SelectUSA was also a hub for forward-looking dialogue, with U.S. business leaders highlighting the critical role of AI, workforce development, and innovation ecosystems. The message was clear: international business is entering a new era — and Irish companies are well positioned to thrive in it. We left SelectUSA energized, informed, and more connected than ever. We’re proud to be part of this dynamic community and we’re excited for what’s ahead.
