美国商务部长彭妮•普利茨克于8月份在佛罗里达州（Florida）举行的一个制造产业会议上发言。
华盛顿——美国商务部长（U.S. Secretary of Commerce）彭妮•普利茨克（Penny Pritzker）于10月23日宣布，已经有1000余人注册参加于10月31日至11月1日在华盛顿召开的“选择美国2013年投资峰会”（SelectUSA 2013 Investment Summit）。她表示，本次峰会将达到全员出席。
欧巴马总统于2011年发起“选择美国”，作为美国政府的第一个促进在美国投资的举措。本次第一届峰会将联通外国公司及投资者与地方、州及地区经济发展组织。
普利茨克在商务部发布的一份新闻简报中说：“我们看到的对‘选择美国投资峰会’的强烈兴趣表明国内外公司对在美国存在的投资机会兴奋不已。除了一项极好的议程外，与会者们在考虑他们的投资决定时，将能够了解可供利用的联邦政府资源。”
47个州以及哥伦比亚特区（District of Columbia）和三个美国领地的经济发展组织将参加这次峰会。代表近60个市场的公司企业也将与会。
普利茨克说，由于本次峰会有如此广泛的州政府参与，“这将是一个在这些公司与寻求吸引投资的社区之间牵线搭桥的绝佳机会。”
商务部此前宣布，除了普利茨克之外，国务卿（Secretary of State）约翰·克里（John Kerry）、财政部长（Secretary of the Treasury）杰克•卢（Jack Lew）和美国贸易代表（U.S. Trade Representative）迈克尔•弗洛曼（Michael Froman）也将参加本次峰会。

SelectUSA Investment Summit Will Bring More Than 1,000 to U.S.
24 October 2013
U.S. Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker addresses a manufacturing conference in Florida in August.
Washington — More than 1,000 participants have registered to attend the SelectUSA 2013 Investment Summit October 31–November 1 in Washington, U.S. Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker announced October 23. The event will be at capacity attendance, she said.
President Obama launched SelectUSA in 2011 as the first U.S. governmentwide initiative to promote investment in the United States. This first summit will connect foreign companies and investors with local, state and regional economic development organizations.
“The strong interest we are seeing in the SelectUSA Investment Summit demonstrates the excitement of companies at home and abroad about the opportunities that exist for investing in the United States,” Pritzker said in a Commerce Department press release. “On top of an excellent agenda, participants will be able to learn about federal government resources available as they consider their investment decisions.”
Economic development organizations from 47 states plus the District of Columbia and three U.S. territories will participate. Companies representing nearly 60 markets will also attend.
With such wide state government participation at the summit, Pritzker said, “it will be a tremendous opportunity to connect these firms with communities looking to attract investment.”
In addition to Pritzker, Secretary of State John Kerry, Secretary of the Treasury Jack Lew and U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman will participate in the summit, the Commerce Department previously announced.
The speaker and moderator lineup for the summit also features 42 top public- and private-sector representatives, including Governors Bill Haslam of Tennessee, Jack Markell of Delaware and Martin O’Malley of Maryland, presidential adviser Valerie Jarrett and Director of the National Economic Council Gene Sperling, as well as corporate leaders Laurence Fink of BlackRock Inc., Daniel Doctoroff of Bloomberg LP, Douglas Oberhelman of Caterpillar Inc., Andrew Liveris of Dow Chemical Company, Eric Spiegel of Siemens Corporation and William (Bill) Simon of Wal-Mart US.
