RALEIGH – Are you an international company looking to open operations in the U.S.? If so, consider opening a location in the Southeast region of the U.S. (Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Florida). The Southeast region provides the following advantages:

Compelling geographic opportunities for doing business in the Southeast

  • 4th largest economy in the world, and fastest growing region in the U.S.
  • 5 of the 10 fastest growing, large states located in the Southeast

The Southeast has an attractive corporate growth environment

  • Lower cost of living
  • Business-friendly corporate and employment laws
  • Substantial support for technology and life sciences industries
  • Strong higher education and educated workforce
  • Favorable climate

Of course, we are biased in favor of North Carolina, so here are some additional advantages to doing business in NC:

  • Central East Coast location
  • 4 international airports
