The Tracker covers corporate investment announcements of roughly $50 million or more, or 100-plus jobs, landing in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, or Australia, plus globally significant projects elsewhere. Every entry links to its source. Values are as disclosed by the company or government and converted to US dollars where needed; financing facilities, frameworks, and approval pipelines are flagged in the entry because they are not the same thing as committed construction.
