Oracle moving its ‘world headquarters’ to Nashville to focus on health care

By Brody Ford | Bloomberg

Oracle Corp. is planning to make Nashville its “world headquarters” to be closer to a major health care hub, reflecting the software giant’s ambitions in the industry.

At the company’s health care summit in Nashville on Tuesday, Chairman Larry Ellison said Oracle is developing a health campus in the city that will “ultimately be our world headquarters.” Nashville’s status as a health center makes it attractive, Ellison said in a conversation with Bill Frist, a physician and former US Senate majority leader, at the conference.

Oracle, best-known for its database technology, moved its headquarters from Silicon Valley to Austin, Texas, in 2020, saying the shift would give more flexibility to workers. The company still maintains a large employee base in California, even after the move.

Since then, Oracle has shifted its focus to the health care industry and bought electronic health records company Cerner for $28 billion. Oracle “is now going to be at the center of the next generation of health care,” Ellison said in December 2022.
