OPPORTUNITY. LEGAL RESIDENCY. A REGIONAL CENTER FOCUSED ON GLOBAL SUCCESS.

Welcome to the North Dakota / Northwestern Minnesota EB-5 Regional Center. We put the power of EB-5 within your reach, turning business potential into progress – and personal citizenship goals into reality. We are located in the Center for Innovation at the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks. This Regional Center focuses on the entire state of North Dakota and twenty counties in northwestern Minnesota.

The purpose of establishing the North Dakota / Northwestern Minnesota EB-5 Regional Center is to:

  • Attract foreign direct investment in North Dakota and Northwestern Minnesota in order to generate economic development, create new jobs and increase capital investment in growth ventures.
  • Create partnerships between American investors and international investors in order to strengthen investment deals proposed by the EB-5 Regional Center as well as to attract new investors.
  • Provide a vehicle for investing in expanding companies. These companies are selected for the Regional Center based on job creation potential and compliance with the EB-5 program.

Investments made through the Regional Center are organized on a side-by-side basis, where both foreign investors and American investors jointly invest in projects. This provides investors with a sense of security and legitimacy related to investment projects promoted by the North Dakota / Northwestern Minnesota EB5-Regional Center.

The North Dakota / Northwestern Minnesota EB-5 Regional Center focuses on the following seven industries: agribusiness, machinery manufacturing, aviation/aerospace, information technologies/communications, biotech/bioscience, construction/real estate development and utilities. These industries were chosen because of their consistency with economic development goals in both North Dakota and Minnesota.
