Wake County Economic Development's proactive marketing and recruitment efforts are focused on specific target industries. In Wake County, these industries offer a distinct competitive advantage over other communities.

Technology
From SAS, the world’s largest private software company, to open source giant Red Hat and dozens of tech startups, Raleigh and Wake County’s tech industry is growing, spurring innovation, and attracting talent to the region. In addition to the Research Triangle Park in its backyard, the region’s world-class universities are boosting the area’s talent pool.

Life Sciences
North Carolina is home to the third largest biotechnology cluster in the United States. The vast majority, approximately 500 of those companies, is located in and around Wake County.
Wake County offers a skilled workforce, sophisticated venture capitalists, and access to dozens of biotech firms, pharmaceutical companies, and CROs. Add to that the North Carolina Biotechnology Center, research hospitals, and a one-of a kind, $35 million training facility known as BTEC.

CleanTechnology
Wake County is a leader in Smart Grid innovation, with dozens of companies that employ thousands of people. Collectively, these firms invest tens of millions of dollars annually on research, development, and implementation of new enabling technologies.

Wake County is part of a larger concentration of cleantech companies found in North Carolina’s Research Triangle Region that includes renewable energy and energy efficiency companies, plus a growing collection of businesses and assets engaged in advanced transportation and water technologies. In 2011, recognizing the area’s impressive industry growth, the International Cleantech Network invited the Research Triangle Region to become one of only 15 members in the exclusive global organization.

Three factors are driving Wake County’s expanding smart grid cluster: an unmatched roster of smart grid companies; a significant set of industry resources; and an impressive supply of technically trained people.
