1. The Research Triangle Park: Briefing

2. Transforming the Region’s Economy RTP was founded in 1959 by business, government and academic leaders to stem the “brain drain” and shift the agricultural, manufacturing and government economy to a research and technology focus. It was a BIG BET! The Research Triangle Foundation (RTF) is the non-profit entity responsible for the management, development and relationships within RTP. 2

3. 3 A Foundation That’s Still Strong… 50+ Years Later Our Foundation’s creators made a conscious decision to build the Research Triangle Park in the heart of North Carolina. The intent was to create a place where the founding universities, local governments and private industry could work together and flourish. 50+ years later, the Foundation is still the same organization started by Governor Luther Hodges and Archie K. Davis. Committed to a state wide mission and we maintain the strong partnerships that connect our companies with the public and university sectors. RTP is very much a global brand – and through our planned redevelopment efforts – we intend for it to remain that way.

4. 4 Achievements Since its creation, Park companies have received more than 3,256 patents. Researchers at RTP companies have won the 1988 and 1994 Nobel Prizes in Medicine – as well as the 1996 Pulitzer Prize for History. Park companies are responsible for discovering Astroturf, 3-D Ultrasound, Ctrl+Alt+Delete and Taxol among many others. International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry ( IUPAC) maintains the official Periodic Table of the Elements out of The RTP. Partnerships between companies physically located within the Park are common. Cisco & Netapp, Biogen Idec & Eisai are recent examples.

24. Retain Existing Tenants Attract Broader Range of Tenants Continue to Attract Large Companies MARKET OBJECTIVES The goal of the Master Plan is to create an environment that will allow RTP to continue to be an economic driver for the innovation economy. This goal will be achieved by maintaining the Park’s attractiveness to existing tenants and owners, facilitating opportunities for existing companies to expand on site, and broadening the Park’s appeal to additional types of companies, including those not historically found at RTP.
