Five amazing weeks of commercial knowledge promotes foreign investment
During the past 5 weeks, the Oxford Group had held a series of amazing seminars for entrepreneurs from São Paulo – Brazil, where we were able to confirm the significant interest of Brazilians in investing, doing business, or moving to the US. We saw a huge interest increasing, especially within the themes:
Themes
- Importing and Exporting
- The American Economy
- Funding a business in the United States
- Investing in the United States
- Immigration
Importance of the event:
742 participants went online to hear what the Oxford Group had to say about the topics. It was a true audience record, which had never been achieved for the public and subject matter.
We are sure that these events will result in a lot of new investment in Florida, and a lot of business to be developed and new residents in the United States. With more qualified Brazilian entrepreneurs doing business in the U.S, we will see a ripple effect, contributing to the local economy. International investment is critical to American jobs and competitiveness. Foreign investment can enable the growth of businesses and jobs that wouldn’t occur if reliant on domestic investment alone. In economic terms, FDI encourages efficiency by allowing resources to be directed to their most valuable use.
Just to give you a round perspective of how significant foreign investment in the U.S can be, we’ve copulated some numbers:
7.4 million of U.S. workers employed by U.S. affiliates of foreign-owned firms.
2.5 million is Number of U.S. workers employed in manufacturing jobs with foreign-owned firms
5.9 million Additional jobs attributable to sourcing, increased incomes, productivity gains, and other economic effects of foreign-owned firms in 2018
US$81,000 is the Average yearly compensation of U.S. workers at foreign-owned firms in 2018
That’s what we aimed to promote in the webinar, and with great success, in fact, the series of educational online events were the results of numerous press reports, radio interviews and major Brazilian TVs covering the webinar’s significance presence.
