Bill Dean, the director of Piedmont Triad Research Park, has been named the chairman of the newly formed N.C. Research Parks Network, a coalition of seven leading science parks.
North Carolina has a legacy of research-park success, concentrating knowledge assets and connecting them to the greater regional and state economy to create economic advantages.
The newly formed network will focus on leveraging the unique characteristics of the individual parks that have been established in the state and highlighting the diverse strengths of the state's knowledge resources.
"North Carolina is home to a plethora of innovation regions and assets, building on the foundation The Research Triangle Park established in the 1950s," said Rick Weddle, the president and CEO of the Research Triangle Foundation of North Carolina, the owner and developer of RTP.
Research parks in the network include Piedmont Triad Research Park, in Winston-Salem; Gateway University Research Park, in Greensboro; Centennial Campus, in Raleigh; Charlotte Research Institute; Research Triangle Park; and two others that are in the planning stages.
