Home to nearly 6 million people and more than 150,000 businesses, metro Atlanta continues to be an attractive place for Fortune 500 and 1000 companies because of the region’s low cost of doing business, ease of travel around the world through Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, the thriving innovative ecosystem, a business-friendly environment and its reputation as a logistics hub, says Gregg Simon, vice president of economic development at the Metro Atlanta Chamber. “We offer a steady talent pipeline through our graduates coming out of the region’s 66 colleges and universities,” he continues. “Atlanta’s economy has been fueled by a decades-long influx of population from around the world, offering a talent pipeline for all of our employers.” With Atlanta’s highly skilled and abundant workforce, the area has been a perfect place for these companies to thrive. “Atlanta is one of the country’s top cities in which to do business,” states a representative from The Home Depot. “It has great entrepreneurial opportunities, great career options and plenty of access to excellent education.
