The Local Content Summit brings together innovators from government, industry, and community to shape the future of compliance and investment. It connects every phase of development — from planning and permitting to construction, manufacturing, and operations — aligning Contracts, Grants, Licenses, and Incentives with measurable local impact through supplier, workforce, and community development across public–private industries.
What Are Local Content Requirements?
Local content requirements are policies that mandate a percentage of goods, services, labor, or investments in development projects come from local businesses, workers, or communities. They exist to drive job creation, strengthen regional economies, and ensure that infrastructure, energy, and industry investments deliver measurable local benefits.
