One of the few accredited economic development organizations worldwide, the New Orleans Business Alliance was formed in 2010 through a coalition of business and civic leaders to employ the best practices in economic development to position New Orleans as the ideal intersection of commerce and culture.

As the official economic development partnership for New Orleans and the hub of its business community, our goal is to continue to show the world that New Orleans is the best American city for business investment, quality of life and inclusive economic opportunity.

We’re also the ONLY economic development organization focused solely on growing the New Orleans economy.

The New Orleans Business Alliance is one of 62 International Economic Development Council-accredited economic development organizations worldwide. Through our accredited status, we are committed to the best practices in economic development.
