Office of Private Sector Outreach
The Office of Private Sector Outreach works to develop and coordinate innovative ways for the State Department to engage the private sector in our public diplomacy initiatives. Public diplomacy seeks to understand, inform, engage and influence foreign publics rather than foreign officials.
U.S. companies, universities and foundations represent the immense generosity and ingenuity of the American people, and their global presence and creativity make them not only invaluable resources, but natural partners in our efforts.
We are working to engage private sector leaders in dynamic partnerships to promote mutual understanding, counter violent extremism, empower women business leaders, provide much needed humanitarian relief, strengthen international education, encourage health advocacy, and promote social and economic development throughout the world.
