International Profile
Virginia Beach is not only an Oceanfront resort but an important international destination that has attracted the attention of many international businesses for its affordability, diversity, and proximity to ports.
It is why so many international companies decided to locate and grow here – from consumer product giants and long-term oriented companies like STIHL and KETTLER, to industrial powerhouses like Busch, Hermes, and IMS:Gear. They understand we are on their side, providing a low-tax, business-friendly environment that encourages business expansion, not only in the United States but also worldwide.

In recent years, the Virginia Beach Department of Economic Development has established offices in Germany, Spain, and United Kingdom to offer assistance to companies abroad that are interested in establishing or expanding in Virginia Beach.
