NC Coalition for Global Competitiveness
N.C. Coalition for Global Competitiveness is a private and public sector partnership of leaders from a variety of industries from all over North Carolina co-chaired by Elaine Marshall, NC Secretary of State, and Steve Troxler, NC Agriculture Commissioner. The Coalition, founded in 2013 and coordinated by Go Global NC, fosters thought leadership and serves as a catalyst for a statewide vision for global engagement.
The purpose of the Coalition is to foster thought leadership and serve as a catalyst for our statewide vision for global engagement. The Coalition is focused on optimizing North Carolina’s global engagement through a comprehensive approach, including FDI, trade and workforce development to generate jobs and opportunities and create an environment for success in the global economy. Economic well-being and quality of life for all North Carolinians depends on effectively engaging the rest of the world.
The Coalition created the N.C. Blueprint for Global Engagement and N.C.’s Global Engagement Snapshot, a road map and an online tool, to track the state’s path and progress toward global engagement. North Carolina is the first state to develop a roadmap for global engagement across all sectors – education, business, government, and community.
