Maryland- Nepal has marked a significant step in advancing its global economic engagement with its first-ever private sector participation at the SelectUSA Investment Summit, positioning itself as an emerging partner for investment, innovation, and trade.
At the summit in Maryland, Nepali companies are engaging with global investors, U.S. government officials, and economic developers to explore market access, partnerships, and long-term investment opportunities. The participation reflects a growing shift toward trade-led cooperation and deeper private sector collaboration between Nepal and the United States.
During high-level interactions, including engagements with the U.S. Department of State and U.S. Department of Commerce, U.S. officials emphasized the importance of strengthening bilateral ties through business and trade. At an embassy event, Deputy Assistant Secretary Bethany P. Morrison highlighted growing momentum following recent high-level visits and underscored the United States’ interest in supporting a conducive business environment and private sector growth in Nepal.
Welcoming the delegation, Chief Deputy Ambassador Sharad Raj Aran expressed confidence in the capability and global outlook of Nepali enterprises. Discussions with U.S. officials, including Deputy Director Jon Seo, focused on scaling commercial engagement and facilitating market entry.
AmCham Chair Kailash Bijayananda said bringing Nepali delegation will help Nepali companies catapult into global competitiveness and acknowledged recent policy reforms by the Government of Nepal in the ICT sector.
The delegation comprises five ICT companies—Biz Serve, Swift Fin, Codavatar, Green Tick, and Event Mo—presenting their expansion plans and reflecting Nepal’s growing strength in innovation and globally competitive talent.
Coordinated by the American Chamber of Commerce in Nepal (AmCham Nepal) and led by Executive Director Amir Thapa, the initiative underscores Nepal’s increasing readiness to engage global markets and positions the private sector as a key driver of bilateral economic growth.
