About New Orleans

New Orleans sits in the Mississippi River delta, largely below sea level, a port city whose energy industry has always coexisted with a culture economy — music, food, festival — that most cities don't have running alongside heavy industry. Tulane anchors the research side, and post-Katrina rebuilding brought a deliberate, if still modest, push into bioscience and tech that wasn't there before.
