Technology & Innovation
Nashville enjoys the competitive advantages of having an innovative culture, a well-educated population, and a thriving technology industry. This strength is seen in the enterprising and entrepreneurial spirit of Nashville, which creates a space for ingenuity. Nashville’s unparalleled creative community of musicians, artists, writers, developers, and designers translates into a vibrant tech scene that continues to expand.
“Vanderbilt University and the Middle Tennessee region continue to be a magnet for talent, businesses, and visitors. As U.S. economic activity shifts away from the coasts to the South and Southeast, Vanderbilt and Tennessee are well poised to grow and innovate and act on the tremendous opportunity that lies ahead for our region. We are proud that our world-class faculty, state of the art facilities and extraordinary students are all helping to drive our region’s vibrant growth and realize the tremendous potential in its innovation ecosystem.”
