It is a guide for companies considering headquarters relocation or operations establishment and a source of information on tech trends for policymakers. It also serves as a collection of stories that highlight the vibrancy of the state’s tech sector.

NC TECH's Member Spotlight is NC TECH Member Cloudaeris. Cloudaeris was born from the belief that operating a successful business is not mutually exclusive with doing the right thing for your customers.
We've observed that the IT consulting space is saturated with predatory providers who are interested in locking clients into their proprietary solutions, whether or not those solutions are appropriate.
Originally founded as Charlotte Networks, we've since grown our brand to reflect our expertise and capabilities in the Microsoft Cloud space. View Full Spotlight
