Government
Leaders from across the political spectrum benefit from understanding North Carolina’s connections with the world, discovering new opportunities to advance our state’s interests, and finding bipartisan solutions to the challenges we face.
Global Leaders
Our Global Leaders program takes a deep dive into important economic sectors for our state like energy, biotechnology, higher education, and agriculture and explores international best practices we can learn from. Elected officials and administrative leaders are key members of each cross-disciplinary team participating in the Global Leaders program.
Latino Initiative
Our internationally recognized Latino Initiative takes teams of North Carolina policy and business leaders to Mexico to better understand the largest block of immigrants calling North Carolina home. We learn about economic pressures and Latino cultural, and we spend time breaking bread with neighbors to our south. Dozens of elected officials from the state, county and municipal level have joined the Latino Initiative, traveling to Mexico and bringing back ideas and understanding to strengthen North Carolina communities.
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.
Connected Communities
Connected Communities helps North Carolina regions turn local strengths into global opportunities. By uniting business, education, government, and community leaders, the program builds tailored coalitions that attract investment, expand trade, grow talent, and drive lasting prosperity statewide.
