Let's build better business, Raleigh.

Businesses in Raleigh, Chapel Hill and Durham are invited to join the Center for Private Business and take advantage of our programming, membership benefits and networking opportunities.

Raleigh and the Triangle holds a hub of businesses focused on technology, software, and modern industries. Raleigh, as the capital of North Carolina, is known for research and development of renewable energy technologies. Durham covers many health-related companies and medical practices. Chapel Hill also contains a strong focus of biopharmaceutical companies.

“I felt the impact of the Center immediately from my treasured Forum group to leadership training and development, to social gatherings and friendships. They have created a richness to the business community. The Center puts a lot of care and effort into the generational success of each Member’s business. We’re developing strong roots as a peer group to build something valuable and with character to pass onto the next generation.”
