Greensboro Economic Development Alliance (GEDA) is focused on recruiting new companies to Greensboro and Guilford County as well as helping existing companies expand. GEDA also provides advocacy and issue resolution services to existing companies to remove any barriers to growth they encounter. The mission of GEDA is to facilitate the creation of high quality jobs, attract new capital investment, and improve both per capita income and quality of life.

GEDA is ensuring Greensboro's future success by cultivating high growth industries today.
