Open Call 2024: A New Decade of Opportunities
Open Call 2024 Overview
We’re proud that more than two-thirds of our annual product spend is on goods made, grown, or assembled in the United States. But we wanted to do more, so three years ago, we committed to investing an additional $350 billion over 10 years in more such goods. This investment will also assist the creation of over 750,000 U.S. jobs. To support this commitment and our America at Work initiative, Walmart hosts an annual Open Call event for innovative, shelf-ready products.
