Strategically located at the heart of the country, Illinois is at the crossroads of commerce, putting businesses, people, and goods within a four-hour flight of the entire North American market — and is home to the world’s most-connected airport.
It’s where talent, innovation, transportation, and infrastructure converge and where many of the nation’s top businesses thrive. Illinois companies benefit from a world-class transportation and logistics network, reliable, low-cost energy, abundant water and natural resources, and a highly educated workforce supported by more than 247 higher education institutions, according to Intersect Illinois.
