President Trump signed the Better Utilization of Investments Leading to Development (BUILD) Act into law on October 5, 2018. This landmark legislation will reform and strengthen U.S. development finance capabilities into a new federal agency to help address development challenges and foreign policy priorities of the United States. The U.S. International Development Finance Corporation ("USDFC") will be a modern, consolidated agency that brings together the capabilities of Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) and United States Agency for International Development (USAID)'s Development Credit Authority, while introducing new and innovative financial products to better bring private capital to the developing world.


Please join us in a discussion with OPIC's Executive Vice President Ryan Brennan to learn more about this new initiative.

Mr. Brennan has more than 20 years of investment and public policy experience with an emphasis on access to capital for small businesses in rural and highly urban communities. He was most recently Managing Director at Advantage Capital Partners, a U.S. based venture capital firm with more than $2.3 billion under management, largely focused on job creation through investment in low-income areas.
