GEDA also announced an in-person investor conference is in development and currently scheduled for November 2023.
“While tourism and defense spending are well established, there is room for new industries, including additive manufacturing, sustainable aquaculture, and others,” said Governor Leon Guerrero. “Our administration is committed to creating a more diverse and wide-ranging economy that provides more stability and opportunities for the people of Guam.”
GEDA Chairman David John also addressed attendees stating, "This virtual meeting is a positive next step towards encouraging increased investment in Guam. Moving forward, we plan to welcome high potential investors to the island to introduce them to stakeholders, including immigration attorneys, finance and taxation experts, and real estate professionals. An in-person organized and comprehensive investor conference will help facilitate investor due diligence to get investment dollars flowing into our island at an accelerated pace.”
At the invitation of Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo, Governor Leon Guerero participated in the 2023 SelectUSA Investment Summit last May. The event is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Commerce and plays a vital role in attracting and facilitating foreign business investments throughout the nation and territories. During the summit, the Guam delegation touted the island as the “bridge between Asia and the United States” and noted that the ongoing military buildup would increase the need for affordable housing, aquaculture development, agriculture, transshipment, and agri-tech.
Details on the in-person investor conference are forthcoming. For more information, contact GEDA at 671-647-4332.
