International Community

No matter what country your business is from, Hampton Roads speaks your language.

Globalization is taking the world by storm. And now more than ever, international companies that are searching for a place to settle in America are choosing the same region America’s first settlers chose: Hampton Roads.

We offer a great location on the east coast of the United States with easy access to the Atlantic Ocean and a robust transportation network into the interior of North America. Our central location puts most the population of the United States within short reach. And our two commercial airports offer over 100 flights to major U.S. hubs and international gateway cities. In addition, we connect you and world markets with 20 steamship lines offering weekly service to Europe and Asia. So when you’re in Hampton Roads, it’s easy to get yourself or your goods and services wherever they need to go.

Thanks to the rich diversity of companies and cultures in Hampton Roads, our communities offer a wealth of festivals, events, shopping, and lifestyle options all geared toward specific ethnic, religious, and regional enjoyment.
