North Carolina’s Research Triangle – the area between Chapel Hill, Raleigh and Durham – has become one of the country’s fastest growing tech hubs largely thanks to its access to talent from some of the top universities in the country (Duke, North Carolina at Chapel Hill and North Carolina State) and low cost of living. The state’s pro-business environment and low taxes have attracted tech giants like Meta, Apple and Amazon investing billions in the area. In 2024, the state was ranked second on CNBC’s America’s Top States For Business list.
