Directories and Data Tools
SelectUSA has created several data dashboards to assist visitors to our website with visualizing and analyzing key FDI data from a variety of sources. Each dashboard features the earliest through the latest available data. Please note that for some indices there can be a delay of up to two years (data releases vary).
The State FDI Database is available to assist you in finding state incentives, programs, contacts, and much more. Using this tool, you can filter by Industry, Market, or State, and you can also search using the keyword search option. Search ‘women’ and ‘female’ and those states with incentive programs for women will show up. Other tech-related content is also available based on information economic development organizations provided, including:
- Incentives or programs for startups or early-stage potential or existing international companies in the state
- Any major accelerators or incubators in the state that accept foreign business investors
- Incentives or programs for potential or existing international female tech entrepreneurs in the state
Using the search function for any of these terms will help startups and women in tech find relevant information within the FDI Database.
The SelectUSA Service Provider and U.S. Startup Ecosystem Directory can serve as a resource for companies seeking connections to service providers or representatives from the U.S. startup ecosystem.
SelectUSA hosts pitching sessions year-round in overseas markets and at the annual Investment Summit! These Pitching Tips can be a guide to help you refine your pitch if you engage in SelectUSA Tech pitching sessions.
