With a deep focus on mission-critical applications across industries such as healthcare, logistics, automotive, and industrial, KORE enables organizations to drive digital transformation, improve operational efficiency, and unlock new revenue streams.
“The City of Richmond welcomes KORE Wireless to Downtown,” said Mayor Danny Avula. “They join a vibrant and innovative business community, including the CoStar Group, Dominion Energy, the Fifth District Federal Reserve, and other leading companies in the finance, tech, and professional services. With a central downtown location, KORE employees will have easy access to Richmond’s thriving art and culture, restaurants, and riverfront amenities.”
