Invest: Raleigh-Durham Conference to spotlight growth pillars
June 2024 — The Raleigh/Durham region is among the fastest-growing economies in the United States due to its job opportunities, affordability, and diverse communities. At the official Invest: Raleigh/Durham launch conference, local industry and community leaders, including Raleigh Mayor Mary-Ann Baldwin, will come together to discuss the region’s business climate and how they are leveraging its inherent economic strengths to ensure long-term prosperity for all.
The conference, which will take place on July 24, from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. at City Club Raleigh, will celebrate the official release of Capital Analytics’ third edition of Invest: Raleigh-Durham. The event will feature a keynote address and two panel discussions, one centering on the collaboration of healthcare and education, and another looking through various business lenses at the growth and development of the Triangle.
“We are looking forward to celebrating the release of our third edition of Invest: Raleigh-Durham to showcase the leaders adding to the region’s long-standing reputation for community and collaboration,” Capital Analytics’ President and CEO Abby Lindenberg said. “Few companies deliver the in-depth business analysis we do for the markets we cover, including Raleigh-Durham.
