North Carolina's Southeast

North Carolina’s Southeast is a regional public-private partnership that markets the state’s Southeast Region to companies from a multitude of industries that are ready to grow. Located centrally on the East Coast, the region offers aerospace and defense companies excellent logistics and distribution, a skilled workforce in metalworking and composites, and global companies in the industry that have a manufacturing base. The region is home to the NC Aerospace Corridor which is anchored by the NC Global Transpark and supported by Seymour Johnson Air Force Base and Fleet Readiness Center East. Being the home to seven major military installations, the North Carolina’s Southeast region has the largest military presence on the East Coast. Annually, more than 20,000 exiting military personnel who are well-equipped with the skills needed for success in this industry are available to support a company’s workforce needs.
