How to Leverage US Economic Development Organizations for Growth and Expansion in the American Market
The US market can be daunting, complicated, and expensive to enter. However, there is an often untapped resource available that is, in most cases, free or very low cost to make use of… a resource that can exponentially help with market entry and expansion into the US – namely the SelectUSA network and other public/private economic development organizations (EDOs).
Export for Estonian companies is often job creation for American jurisdictions. Understanding the value that your company’s growth can bring to the local US economy is the key to fruitful cooperation and smooth landings when expanding to the United States.
In this LIVE and in-person session to be held on the 24th of October in Tallinn (14:00 – 16:00 Tallinn time), hosted at the offices of TRINITI Law Firm, Michael Edgar, the Director of SelectChicago and long-time economic development professional, will share with the Estonian business community an overview of the support systems, agencies, and structures available to Estonian entrepreneurs looking towards the US market; as well as best practices for engaging with and making the best use of the resources, network and various types of assistance that these local organizations can provide.

About SelectChicago
SelectChicago connects global investors and foreign companies seeking to start, enter and expand into new markets with businesses and municipalities seeking new investment. The organization serves four primary client profiles:
- Member municipalities in the Chicagoland region: helping them connect to businesses and development opportunities that will create local jobs, utilize dormant facilities, and infuse cash into the community.
- Businesses in the Chicagoland region: helping them complete the steps to be eligible for foreign investment, become more attractive to foreign investors, and connect to foreign nationals seeking new investment opportunities in the United States.
- Global investors: helping them qualify for the FDI (foreign direct investment) program, find investment opportunities in the Chicagoland area that match their goals, and complete the investment process.
- Foreign businesses: helping them find expansion opportunities in the Chicagoland region and work through the steps to bring their business (or a satellite) to the United States.
