THE LOCAL ECONOMY

What drives business in Raleigh.

Research Triangle Park, between Raleigh and Durham, hosts drug development and contract research, and large biomanufacturing plants have been added in Wake and Johnston counties, including in Holly Springs and Clayton. N.C. State, state government and WakeMed anchor employment in Raleigh itself, while software firms such as SAS in Cary and Red Hat downtown have built a large tech workforce. Rapid population growth has strained roads, schools and housing.

WHAT COMPANIES HERE FACE

The decisions in front of Raleigh management teams.

Companies here compete with drug-manufacturing plants and tech firms for engineers, technicians and project managers, and wages have risen with in-migration. Suppliers to biomanufacturing sites must meet strict quality and validation standards. Many firms grew fast with the region and now need stronger management systems, reporting and cash discipline.
