Investment Projects
OPIC supports projects in a range of industries—from energy to housing, agriculture and financial services. It focuses on regions where the need is greatest and in sectors that can have the greatest developmental impact. Geographically, OPIC services are available for new and expanding U.S. business enterprises in more than 150 emerging countries worldwide.
OPIC has increasingly focused on projects that encourage the use of renewable resources, which represent not only an urgent global need but also a significant investment opportunity. Another key priority is impact investing, which aims to produce positive social impacts while generating financial returns sufficient to make these projects sustainable.

Famous quotes containing the words investment and/or projects:
“There is something fascinating about science. One gets such wholesale returns of conjecture out of such a trifling investment of fact.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“One of the things that is most striking about the young generation is that they never talk about their own futures, there are no futures for this generation, not any of them and so naturally they never think of them. It is very striking, they do not live in the present they just live, as well as they can, and they do not plan. It is extraordinary that whole populations have no projects for a future, none at all.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
