Maryland (US): 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 the 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.
