The Baltimore Region is home to a diverse and growing economic base, with strengths that span life sciences, biotechnology, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, advanced manufacturing, and supply chain and logistics. This event is designed to introduce international business leaders and outside investors to the momentum shaping the region and the practical opportunities available to companies looking to grow in the United States.

As the official SelectUSA spinoff event hosted by the Greater Baltimore Committee for the third consecutive year, Invest in the Baltimore Region brings together a curated group of regional executives, economic development partners, and global business leaders for a half-day program focused on opportunity, access, and action. The format is intentionally intimate, allowing participants to engage directly with leaders who understand the region’s competitive advantages and can help open doors to the right conversations.
