Salt Lake City, August 28, 2025.- As part of its active policy of promoting investments abroad, the Private Investment Promotion Agency – PROINVERSIÓN organized the U.S. Roadshow 2025 from August 26 to 27, with the aim of promoting its project portfolio under the modalities of Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) and Projects in Assets (PA) to companies in Utah, with special emphasis on the Mining, Energy, Agriculture, and Construction sectors.
During his stay in Utah, PROINVERSIÓN Executive Director Luis Del Carpio participated in a working committee as part of efforts to strengthen economic cooperation between Peru and the United States, identifying companies with the technical and financial capacity to participate in mining and irrigation projects currently under development. He also had the opportunity to consolidate institutional ties with key players in the economic ecosystem of the State of Utah and finalized coordination actions with the U.S. business network.
In his speech, the head of PROINVERSIÓN highlighted the macroeconomic strength of our country, as well as the upturn in concessions under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model, positioning Peru as a strategic destination for sustainable foreign investment. He noted that in the 2023-2024 period alone, the agency awarded 30 projects worth more than USD 11 billion.
He also presented PROINVERSIÓN’s portfolio of 80 PPP initiatives and Asset Projects for 2025-2026 worth more than USD 20 billion, concentrated in sectors with high social and economic impact such as Transportation, Energy, Sanitation, Education, Health, Tourism, Real Estate, among others.
Del Carpio also highlighted Peru’s vast experience in the development of mining projects worth USD 7,321 billion (excluding VAT) in the period 2002-2024. “In 2024 alone, the mining sector will have the highest volume of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) compared to other sectors, with a total of USD 6,936 billion,” he added.
In this regard, the executive director of PROINVERSIÓN presented the Sechura mining megaproject, which includes the concession of five mining units in the Piura region for the exploration, exploitation, commercialization, and possible industrialization of phosphate rock. This project, which will be developed under the Assets Projects modality, could mobilize investments exceeding USD 2 billion.
