The State of Tennessee's reputation for maintaining a favorable business climate is widely recognized. It has been called the nation’s most competitive state for business, the second-best for business climate and the most improved state for development. Tennessee is focused on encouraging highly-skilled, high-paying jobs throughout the state.

The Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development (State ECD) leads efforts at the state level to retain existing businesses, expand growing firms and to attract new companies through incentives and credits that have helped to make Tennessee so successful.
