Virginia Economic Development Partnership

The Virginia Economic Development Partnership (VEDP) is the economic development organisation that helps companies launch and grow in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Its website says Virginia offers an ideal location, strong talent and a pro-business climate, and that VEDP has the expertise and experience to set a company up for success. The homepage notes that CNBC ranked Virginia among America's top three states for business in 2026.

Services

VEDP supports businesses that are exploring Virginia for a new location, expanding an existing operation or researching growth options. Its listed services include site selection, workforce and talent solutions, incentives, analytics and coordinated guidance through the process.

Location and infrastructure

The partnership promotes Virginia's supplier networks and rapid delivery across the country and around the world. It states that a company based in Virginia can reach 50% of the US population within a day through an integrated transportation system of highway, rail, port and air links, and it publishes pages on business climate, infrastructure and distribution.
