ATLANTA, GEORGIA - The Center of Future Economic Growth in America
The U.S. Southeast region is the 7th largest economy in the world at $2.2 trillion. Atlanta is the economic hub of this prosperous region, and home to 16 Fortune 500 companies. The country with the biggest investment in Atlanta is Japan, with over 350 Japanese companies.
Atlanta is strong in bioscience, hi-technology, telecommunications, manufacturing and logistics. Atlanta is ranked #1 as the most affordable place to do business and has the fastest growing population of college-educated 25-34 year olds in U.S.
The Metro Atlanta Chamber is making its first trip to Osaka for this event. This will be an opportunity to learn more about why the US Southeast has become the modern hub of the US automobile industry, why Atlanta leads the region, and why so many Japanese companies are already there.
