Tennessee's economy has a rare combination of nationally significant industry clusters. Nashville is the second-largest health services market in the United States after the Boston area, home to HCA Healthcare and hundreds of healthcare technology, revenue cycle, and health IT companies. The city also anchors a growing technology sector and, of course, a global music and entertainment industry. Memphis remains a critical logistics and distribution hub. Knoxville and Chattanooga have built manufacturing and advanced materials industries tied to TVA energy assets.
