International Profile

Firms from dozens of countries have made Hampton Roads their home away from home.

 

You’ll often hear us say that Hampton Roads is made up of 15 communities. The truth is that there’s actually a 16th community here: the international community. Approximately 167 businesses from 27 countries chose to make a home for themselves right here in the heart of the mid-Atlantic.

These businesses undoubtedly share many of the same goals you have. Low cost of doing business. Ready access to numerous markets. Abundant resources like land and labor. Attractive tax laws. All with a quality of life that’s unlike anything you’ll find elsewhere.

It’s no secret that business is becoming increasingly global in nature. No wonder so many businesses have made the natural choice.
