As part of their visit, they will spend their first day visiting RTP with a tour of Syngenta, meetings with the park foundation staff as well as NC Biotech. Therein they will gain insights on the benefits large companies experience being located in RTP, the details of running a research park as well as the importance of business incubators. The second and third day will consist of visits with NC State staff (Steve Briggs, Dr. Deborah Thompson, Dr. Gary Gilleskie and Thomas White) who play a key role in developing and fostering the relationship between NCSU and companies like those found in RTP. They will also visit with Keisha Demps on Centennial campus and learn about the strong relationship that exists between the university and private sector on that campus.
