International Business Attraction
Orange County is a leading West Coast gateway to the U.S. market for global companies, with more than 2,000 foreign-owned enterprises calling Orange County home. As the county continues to grow in cultural diversity and economic influence, it will become an even stronger magnet for international investment.

The OCBC IBA Committee is designed to attract international firms by showcasing the county’s dynamic innovation ecosystem, world-class talent and key industries, including life sciences, aerospace, advanced manufacturing and consumer and lifestyle products and services. By fostering cross-border partnerships and expanding global collaboration, the committee aims to strengthen and elevate Orange County’s reputation as a premier destination for international business.
