ECIRPD’s Role in Foreign Investment and SelectUSA 2025

This month, the Delaware County Commissioners renewed their contract with the ECI Regional Planning District (ECIRPD) for International Economic Development. This continued partnership reflects the vital role ECIRPD plays in securing foreign investments and fostering economic growth in Delaware County.

ECIRPD has been instrumental in assisting several foreign businesses in establishing and expanding their operations within Delaware County. Companies such as INOX, Filtrec, Clearline Technologies, Trebi Robotics, and VI-TECHNIK have all benefited from ECIRPD’s support, along with collaborative efforts from the Innovation Connector and the Delaware County Economic Development Team. These strategic partnerships not only attract businesses to the area but also ensure their long-term success once they arrive.

A key component of ECIRPD’s success in international economic development is its participation in the SelectUSA Investment Summit. This premier event serves as the top platform for business investment in the United States, bringing together thousands of economic development organizations, businesses, and investors from around the world.

The ECIRPD Team will be attending the 2025 SelectUSA Investment Summit from May 11-15 at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland. With over 5,000 attendees in the past, including more than 2,500 business investors from 90+ international markets, the summit offers invaluable networking and investment opportunities.

By attending SelectUSA, ECIRPD continues to champion Delaware County as a prime destination for foreign direct investment. This ongoing commitment strengthens the local economy, creates jobs, and enhances the region’s global competitiveness.

As ECIRPD prepares for the 2025 SelectUSA Investment Summit, the future looks bright for economic development in Delaware County. With the support of the Delaware County Commissioners and key local partners, ECIRPD remains dedicated to bringing international business opportunities to the region and fostering lasting economic success.
