Chicago is one of the most strategic cities in the country. It is the nation’s hub and has a long history as a commercial center. Our transportation system is world-class, making Chicago one of the most connected cities in the world. This is why more and more companies and start-ups are moving to Chicago.
In addition, there is a growing interest in private equity and closed-end funds. To capitalize on this, PE and VC firms must build a solid reputation as reliable investment entities.

The Chicago business outlook
Chicago is a highly competitive and diverse talent market, offering a high quality of life at an affordable cost. It is one of the most prosperous metropolitan areas in the United States, boasting an unparalleled talent pool. The city's diverse economy also means that a significant portion of a company's supply chain is based in the Chicago area, and its strategic location facilitates the transportation of people and goods.
According to Chicagoland experts World Business Chicago, there are a few things that make our area a great place to invest for business:
- Chicago’s transportation & logistics ecosystem unites an impressive network of railroads, trucks, international airports, industrial real estate, and more to lead the country in freight handling.
- With two world-class airports, a comprehensive public transit system, and ten state highways, Chicago is a hub for travelers and commuters alike.
- Our central location makes it easily accessible to people all over the country. In a world where remote locations are becoming more and more common, Chicago is the perfect place for service-based industries and makes travel easy for residents.
- Lastly, no matter what hybrid work structure your business uses, your employees will have easy access to and within Chicago thanks to the city’s extensive public transit system, which includes Metra, Chicago Transit Authority, and Chicago Public Transit Authority buses as well as rental bicycles and scooters.
