Academy Award winners, blockbusters, top-rated television shows such as NCIS New Orleans – it’s all here – and so are the professionals, industry support services, and tax incentives to make it work.

Tennessee Williams wrote, “America has only three cities: New York, San Francisco, and New Orleans. Everywhere else is Cleveland.” Well, we love Cleveland. Yet, when it comes to culture, we get Williams’ point. New Orleans enjoys a unique vibe all its own. And, when it comes to food combined with our own Laissez Les Bon Temps Rouler attitude, our apologies to New York and San Francisco because even those towns can’t match the Big Easy.

Now, add to the recipe a strong entrepreneurial spirit, and a community that supports business (especially our food industry) with the kind of tax incentives few places even think about, and New Orleans is a winner.

New Orleans is one of the top tourism destinations and hospitality epicenters in the world. Each year, the city welcomes nearly 20 million visitors from every corner of the globe in search of its unique cultural experiences and the opportunity to create memories that will last a lifetime.

From specialized packaging to Mars rockets, New Orleans’ light and advanced manufacturing is as diverse and interesting as the city itself. With thousands of acres of land available, much of it with immediate access to rail, road and deep-water port facilities, doing business in the Crescent City works for manufacturers big and small.

In addition to connectivity and a world-renowned resilient spirit, we offer one of the nation’s lowest cost of doing business, and a large pipeline of educated workers combined with the nation’s top workforce development programs. .

For 300 Years, New Orleans has been the business gateway to America and the world. Now, with unmatched intermodal connectivity, our reach is only improved, and ready for the next Tricentennial.

Local businesses benefit from incredible multimodal transportation (rail, air, truck, barge, and ship), value-added offerings including warehousing, storage, third-party logistics providers, state-of-the-art facilities, rail connectivity, port operations , ground and air freight, and wholesalers. The Port of New Orleans, a deep-water port, and its network of land, river, rail, and roadway is the very definition of elite multimodal connectivity. It is the nation’s only deep-water port with six Class-1 railroads.

And let’s not forget the brand new MSY airport! The $1 billion, 35-gate terminal provides an improved passenger experience showing off the spirit of New Orleans throughout the facility through the presence of live music and local restaurants that characterize New Orleans’ distinct culture.

There are good reasons U.S. News & World Report named New Orleans America’s new tech hub: unparalleled creative culture, leading entrepreneurial ecosystem, affordable business costs and digital media tax credits. But there’s more: an affordable cost of living, combined with a culture and quality of life no American city can match.

These are the reasons America’s largest generation of tech talent and global firms are coming to the Crescent City. A city known for energy, tourism and hospitality is luring tech companies with its affordability and vibrant culture. Since 2006, the city has lured more than 45 high-tech startups or subsidiaries, among them Accruent, an Austin, Texas-based software company; DXC Technology; Gameloft; and GE Digital, resulting in the creation of more than 20,000 jobs. All aided by Louisiana’s strong incentive program.
