Director Kavan Bhandary to engage US economic development organisations on behalf of companies evaluating American expansion
Bengaluru, 28 April 2026 — Nueconomy Strategy Consulting, an India & Singapore-headquartered economic development and foreign direct investment advisory firm, will participate in the 2026 SelectUSA Investment Summit, the United States’ flagship event for inbound foreign direct investment, held this week at National Harbor, Maryland.
The firm will be represented by Kavan Bhandary, Director, who will engage with state and regional economic development organisations (EDOs) across the US in support of mandates from global companies actively evaluating a US footprint. Sectors under active consideration span IT services, agri-technology, fintech, life sciences, and advanced manufacturing.
The Summit, convened by the US Department of Commerce, brings together more than 5,000 participants — including delegations from over 80 international markets, 50+ US states and territories, and senior US government officials — and is widely regarded as the most consequential annual gathering for cross-border investment into the United States.
“The US is rarely a single decision. It is a sequence of narrower ones — region, state, metro, submarket — and the variance between any two of those can outweigh the variance between two countries,” said Kavan Bhandary. “Our role is to help companies arrive at that sequence with a clear operating thesis, and to help economic development partners engage with mandates that are genuinely qualified.”
Nueconomy’s participation at SelectUSA reflects the firm’s growing portfolio of inward investment advisory work and complements its long-standing mandate base representing North American, Gulf, and European EDOs across India and Southeast Asia. The firm operates from offices in Bengaluru, Mumbai, and Singapore, and has supported investment promotion engagements for clients including Global Affairs Canada, Invest Ottawa, Toronto Global, AdvanceCT, Montréal International, and Abu Dhabi Investment Office, among others.
The firm’s proprietary platforms—including CUE, a corporate expansion signal intelligence engine, and NueBridge, a B2B market entry accelerator—support the diligence and matching work that inform its location strategy mandates.
EDOs, investment promotion agencies, and corporate delegations attending the Summit are encouraged to connect with Kavan during the event.
