Business
We partner with the business community to understand North Carolina’s diverse workforce and the myriad ways North Carolina benefits from the global economy.
NC Coalition for Global Competitiveness
We want the world to recognize and know North Carolina as a great place to invest, work, study, visit, partner, and live. Working with top business, government and education leaders, we formed the NC Coalition for Global Competitiveness in 2013. This innovative public/private partnership created the first-in-the-nation statewide Blueprint for Global Engagement to strategically strengthen North Carolina’s global connections. We’re stronger together.
NC Global Advantage Forum
Each year we host the Annual NC Global Advantage Forum. Speakers and panel discussions share new ways to infuse global skills in North Carolina’s K-12, higher education, government and businesses sectors.
