Brooklyn, NY — This September, LocalContent.com will debut a major upgrade to its Business & Project Certification platform, integrating advanced AI, enterprise-grade security, and targeted training to help U.S. and global organizations secure permits, win contracts, and unlock tax incentives—while meeting increasingly stringent local-content requirements and strengthening domestic supply chains.

Why Is Matters

• $94 T Infrastructure Boom: Global infrastructure investment is projected to top $94 trillion by 2040, driving demand for transparent, locally anchored supply chains.
• Missed Opportunities: More than 35 % of small and midsize firms lose out on government and infrastructure deals due to avoidable compliance gaps.
• Proven ROI: Businesses that achieve local-content readiness enjoy up to 50 % fewer permitting delays and stronger stakeholder relationships.
