Feasibility Studies
USTDA feasibility studies define U.S. technology and design options for infrastructure projects and provide the analysis that is needed for their financing and implementation. Carried out by U.S. companies, USTDA’s studies create a pathway to deploy trusted American solutions to these projects.
Technical Assistance
USTDA technical assistance creates new pathways for exporting trusted U.S. solutions by supporting enabling environments for high-quality infrastructure development, increasing U.S. competitiveness in key markets.
Pilot Projects
USTDA pilot projects facilitate U.S. exports by demonstrating the effectiveness of American technology in emerging markets. By providing analysis and empirical data, pilot projects catalyze strategic infrastructure and identify ways to scale and replicate success.
Transaction Incentives
U.S. firms often face subsidized, state-sponsored foreign competition in strategically important international infrastructure deals. USTDA helps level this playing field for U.S. firms by offering emerging market decision-makers specialized training programs if they select trusted U.S. solutions.
Reverse Trade Missions
USTDA hosts reverse trade missions that bring decision-makers to the United States to observe the best of American infrastructure design, manufacturing and operations. These visits link U.S. industry to export opportunities that advance shared strategic infrastructure priorities in partner countries.
Industry Events
USTDA convenes industry leaders from the United States and emerging markets to build partnerships that promote trusted U.S. technology and financing solutions for emerging market infrastructure priorities.
