As part of its active policy to promote foreign investment, the Peruvian State-run
organized the 2025 United States Roadshow from August 26 to 27.
The discussions identified the interest of companies with the technical and financial capacity to participate in mining and irrigation projects that are currently under development.
In addition, the Peruvian official had the opportunity to strengthen institutional ties with key players in Utah's economic ecosystem and consolidate coordination efforts with the United States business network.
In his remarks, Del Carpio highlighted Peru's macroeconomic strength, as well as the rebound in concessions under the PPP modality, positioning the South American country as a strategic destination for sustainable foreign investment.
The Peruvian official emphasized that in the 2023–2024 period alone ProInversion awarded 30 projects worth over US$11 billion.
Likewise, he presented ProInversion's portfolio of 80 PPP initiatives and Asset Projects for 2025–2026, worth over US$20 billion. They are focused on sectors with high social and economic impact such as transportation, energy, sanitation, education, health, tourism, and real estate, among others.
Moreover, Del Carpio highlighted Peru's extensive experience in developing mining projects worth US$7.321 billion (excluding VAT) during the 2002–2024 period.
"Only in 2024, the mining sector will record the highest volume of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) compared to other sectors, totaling US$6.936 billion," he noted.
In this regard, ProInversion's Executive Director presented the Sechura mega-mining project, which involves the concession of five mining units in Piura region for the exploration, extraction, commercialization, and potential industrialization of phosphate rock.
This project —which will be carried out under the Asset Project modality— could attract investments exceeding US$2 billion.
Subsequently, in Salt Lake City (Utah), Del Carpio held meetings with political leaders such as Senate President James David Vance and Utah State Senator Luz Escamilla.
He also met with business leaders including Franz Kolb, Director of International Relations; Derek Miller, President at Salt Lake Chamber; Jonathan Freedman; and the President of the World Trade Center Utah.
During his participation, opportunities for bilateral collaboration were discussed, highlighting strategic growth sectors and the promotion of the upcoming direct flight between Salt Lake City and Lima, scheduled for December 2025.
This initiative aims to generate tangible benefits in trade, tourism, and business exchanges between the two regions.
