This podcast is brought to you by Research Triangle Park, where people + ideas converge. We focus on the intersection of relationships and collaborations throughout the Triangle region of North Carolina. We believe that "better together" is not just a catchy slogan, but the key to sustainability for our growing region will sustain the tremendous growth we are experiencing. Join host Ray Trapp, Vice President of Strategic Engagement for RTF, as he discusses economic development, community engagement, education, the arts, and more with insightful guests who are leaders in their field.
