About the Summit

A new annual convening for trusted global partnerships

The Global Market Access & Investment Summit is a new annual convening bringing together leaders in government, business, capital and technology.

Anchored in Washington, D.C., the Summit will connect American companies and investors with trusted partners across Africa, the Middle East, Europe, the Caribbean and other strategic global markets.

It will also provide a route for international investors and businesses seeking to invest, build and grow in the United States.

The focus is practical: credible partners, viable opportunities, informed decisions and relationships that continue beyond the Summit.

Why GMAI — and why now?

Trade and investment are being reshaped by economic-security priorities, industrial policy, technological competition and geopolitical risk.

Governments and businesses are reconsidering where they invest, how they structure supply chains and whom they trust as commercial partners.

At the same time, substantial opportunities are emerging in infrastructure, energy, technology, manufacturing, agriculture and financial services.

Opportunity alone is not enough. Successful cross-border investment depends on reliable counterparties, sound governance, regulatory understanding and the ability to manage risk.

GMAI will bring these considerations into one serious commercial forum.
