The studies that placed North Carolina among the most attractive states for business included a number of reasons: cost of doing business, low unionization, regulatory environment, education, quality of life, transportation and access to capital. The economic engine for the  Triangle has been the university/research complex, much of it publicly funded. That network has been the cradle for many successful companies such as SAS Institute, started by Jim Goodnight, an NC State professor, and Quintiles, started by Dennis Gillings, a UNC professor.
Studies show that executives don’t just want to develop and/or move their businesses here, they want to live here as well.
