As part of the 2026 SelectUSA Investment Summit, ASOK (Association of American State Offices in Korea) was proud to co-host the U.S.–ROK Investment Networking Reception on May 4, 2026, at 101 Constitution in Washington, D.C., in partnership with the U.S. Embassy Seoul.

This special evening brought together Korean companies already operating in the United States, prospective investors exploring future opportunities, and key economic development leaders — all committed to strengthening Korea–U.S. investment ties.

Representatives from 14 of ASOK’s 28 member states traveled to Washington, D.C. to participate in the SelectUSA 2026 Summit, and we were honored to welcome representatives from:

Arizona · Arkansas · Fairfax County · Georgia · Kentucky · Michigan · North Carolina · Ohio · Pennsylvania · South Carolina · Tennessee · Utah · Virginia · Williamson County

A sincere thank you to our outstanding sponsors whose partnership made this event possible:

Bank of Hope · Burr & Forman · CBRE · PKF Plenus · ARCO · Nelson Mullins · GreshamSmith · The Livingston Group · Aprio · Gray Construction · JE Dunn · BMCO

With more than 200 attendees filling the room, the energy throughout the evening reflected the continued momentum of Korean investment in the United States across advanced manufacturing, semiconductors, EV batteries, energy, biotech, and other strategic industries.

Korea continues to be one of the United States’ strongest and most dynamic investment partners, and ASOK remains proud to serve as a bridge connecting our two countries through investment, partnership, and opportunity.
