Value proposition

Building a stronger North Carolina by supporting business growth, international trade, and tourism.

The Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina (EDPNC) leads economic development activities in North Carolina. We work together with the Governor and the Department of Commerce to help businesses launch, grow and locate in our state. Our far-reaching network is made up of government officials, local and regional economic development organizations, service providers, international business, tourism and trade executives, community leaders and educational institutions. We also publish research on key business, trade and industry trends affecting our state, and actively track facilities and sites available for relocation.
