A Home Base for Major Corporations

As a large metropolitan area with access to a diverse and talented workforce, opportunities abound here. The St. Louis region’s diversified economy is home to corporate headquarters and major business divisions across a wide range of industries. Global businesses find success here because they can recruit and retain talent across a wide spectrum of competencies and industries. Fifteen Fortune 1000 companies — seven of which are in the Fortune 500 — are headquartered in the St. Louis metro area, along with eight of Forbes' largest private companies in America. Bunge, with $41 billion in revenue, relocated their headquarters to St. Louis in 2019.

Here, an ecosystem of financial services, IT and insurance providers construct the framework needed by firms large and small to support their workforce. A unique nexus of transportation infrastructure makes the region easily accessible from anywhere in the country — and beyond. And our low cost of living and vibrant community makes us appealing to employees and their families.  

Leading companies like Centene, Edward Jones, Energizer, and others play an active role in the St. Louis community. Their charitable donations, corporate sponsorships, board leadership, and outreach to area schools and colleges deeply and positively impact the regional community.
