Local Content Best Places to Invest United States Launches to Advance Regional Economic and Workforce Development Across Global Networks

Brooklyn, NY – Local Content today announced the launch of Best Places to Invest United States, a new national digital platform and certification within the Local Content Global Networks designed to strengthen economic development on a foundation of global local content best practices across supplier and workforce localization, and to strengthen community investment, with a dedicated focus on the multi‑sector public–private infrastructure landscape of the United States. The new platform is accessible at localcontent.com/united‑states.

The United States continues to advance local content and domestic investment policy through federal and state frameworks such as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, the Inflation Reduction Act, and state‑level supplier and workforce development initiatives. These programs are reshaping how companies invest, operate, and partner across the country. Supplier development, workforce development, community investment, and compliance have become central pillars of long‑term economic transformation and national competitiveness.

Best Places to Invest United States is an investment‑focused Local Content Certification Program for companies operating within, or entering, the United States that want to publicly signal their alignment with, and contribution to, strengthening national investment and local content performance. The program evaluates companies under a 100 Point Local Content Assessment, enabling certified organizations to demonstrate measurable impact across supplier development, workforce development, community investment, and overall economic contribution to the United States. Participating organizations are listed on LocalContent.com/united‑states, giving investors a trusted, data‑driven view of the nation’s most competitive locations and partners.

Also located within LocalContent.com/united‑states are additional Local Content products, including the flagship Local Content Certification for Most Trusted Companies, which measures performance across supplier development, workforce development, community investment, readiness, and compliance. The site will also host pre‑sale access for the upcoming Local Content Index, a product of the Local Content Global Networks, enabling governments, trade organizations, and economic development organizations to access global stakeholder local content insights through a first‑in‑class terminal designed to benchmark industry and stakeholder performance and strengthen visibility for global investors. The Local Content Index will be available Fall 2026. In addition, the platform will begin accepting nominations for the annual Local Content Power List United States Edition, which will be published in 2027.

Most Trusted Companies and Best Places to Invest United States operate within the Local Content Global Networks, providing companies, governments, and investors with a unified framework to measure performance, strengthen competitiveness, and advance long‑term economic development.
