GE Healthcare recently announced that it will relocate its global headquarters from the UK to Chicago in early 2016. The move will enable the company’s executive leadership team to be closer to operations in Chicago and Milwaukee, while remaining near an international transportation hub.

“We are excited to strengthen GE’s roots in Chicago, where we will continue our focus on being the leading provider of outcome-based solutions for the healthcare industry,” said GE Healthcare President and CEO John Flannery. “Chicago has a rich industrial heritage, terrific international transportation links and is close to some of the world’s leading healthcare and academic institutions. It is also ideally located for many of GE Healthcare’s operations”

GE Healthcare joins a list of nearly 70 companies that have announced plans to locate or expand in the region in the fourth quarter of 2015, illustrated on the interactive map below:
