Charlotte might be better known for its banks but the Queen City has also become a regional hub for technology and big data. Noting a surge in the technology talent pool, research firm CBRE just named Charlotte one of the top momentum markets for technology sector growth. In fact, the tech sector has grown by 28 percent in the last five years, out-pacing major tech-savvy cities including California’s Silicon Valley, according to CBRE. As the revolution in big data and analytics is also in full swing across the nation, Charlotte is in an enviable position. It is home to a wide array of large and small businesses whose leaders are using big data applications and analytics to run more profitable and efficient operations.
