As the business of economic development becomes more global with each day, Tennessee is emerging as a prime location worldwide for manufacturing facilities, data centers, research facilities and international headquarters.
Leading global companies like Volkswagen, Nissan North America and Bridgestone chose Tennessee for its competitive incentives, key location and logistics infrastructure and world class workforce.
Additionally, global giants in clean and renewable energy, including Wacker Chemie AG, Hemlock Semiconductor Corp., Sharp Solar, and Aerisyn are located in Tennessee, testifying to the state's leadership in clean technology.
The ECD Global team includes Nashville-based recruiters and four global representatives in Canada, China, Germany and Japan that work to help businesses explore Tennessee as a potential location to expand their U.S. and global operations.
