El Salvador Investment Forum showcases economic growth and job creation

CrossBoundary Advisory is proud to have played an instrumental role in organizing the recent El Salvador Investment Opportunities Forum, a joint effort between the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and El Salvador’s Investment and Export Promotion Agency (Invest in El Salvador).

Taking place in Washington, D.C., on May 14, 2024, the forum gathered over 100 influential figures from both the public and private sectors to explore investment opportunities in El Salvador, particularly in the tourism, clean energy, and technology services sectors.

“The forum provided an excellent platform to highlight how El Salvador is transforming its digital ecosystem and infrastructure to attract more foreign investment and establish itself as a technology hub in Central America,” said CrossBoundary Advisory’s Head of Central America Advisory Jorge Rodriguez.

As part of USAID’s Investment Facilitation El Salvador (IFES) activity, our team in El Salvador offers transaction advisory services to companies aiming to contribute to the Central American region’s economic growth and job creation.

Our involvement under IFES allows us to continue connecting impact-oriented investors with significant deal opportunities in El Salvador. IFES has assisted firms like Innogen, to successfully raise equity commitments for its Delta Fund I for US$3.6M, including an up to US$2.5M commitment from the DFC. This investment will support the growth of tech-based startups in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras.

“We are excited that the forum highlighted milestones like this one and are eager to support more initiatives that promote sustainable economic growth in the region,” said Jorge.
