Financial technology company CreditBPO has been chosen to represent the Philippines in the pitching event of the U.S. Department of Commerce-organized SelectUSA Investment Summit on June 7 to June 11, the company recently announced.

U.S. President Joe Biden will deliver the keynote remarks at the summit, which will be graced by global executives and U.S. cabinet secretaries, including Gina Raimondo, Pete Buttigieg, and Antony Blinken.

The summit is the highest-profile event dedicated to promoting foreign direct investment in the United States, according to the SelectUSA website.

In a statement, CreditBPO said it would present its robust proprietary solution before summit attendees, including venture capitalists, corporate investors, startup ecosystems representatives, incubators, accelerators, and other industry experts.

After a stringent vetting process and besting hundreds of other startups, CreditBPO was acknowledged for its readiness to enter the U.S. market and was offered a spot to pitch in the fintech panel of the summit.

The summit plays an important role in promoting and maintaining the US’ leading position in global competitiveness and innovation, thus selecting foreign startups who are seen to be able to fulfill a need in the US economy to participate in the five-day gathering, the statement said.
