On May 6, 2017, Greenberg Traurig’s EB-5 team attended the 2017 Invest in America Summit events in Shanghai to kick off the largest U.S.-themed investment conference and exhibition in China. The Summit was held in four major Chinese cities: Shanghai, Shenzhen, Beijing, and Guangzhou.

Invest in America welcomed U.S. investment projects, regional centers, real estate brokerage firms, franchises, private equity and venture capital companies, financial services, attorneys, CPAs, international trade agencies, government officials, and colleges to participate in exhibitions and presentations.  Started in 2011, the event hosted over 20,000 of China’s premiere business executives, private investors, and more than 400 emigration agents from all across China and around the world. The Summit provided information to investors and business executives who were eager to learn more about investment and business opportunities in the United States.  For more information about the summit, please click here.
