The Research Triangle Region's global strategy seeks
to expand international investment and trade relations
with companies worldwide, primarly those working in
areas related to the region's 10 targeted
clusters.
The World Trade
Center of North Carolina, a program of the Research
Triangle Regional Partnership, coordinates the region's
global strategy.
The 45-step
strategy, called "Focusing
All Eyes on the Horizon," aligns the many organizations
and resources in the 13-county region to attract more
direct investment from foreign companies and increase
trade opportunities for local companies.
The strategy
builds on the tactics and successful collaborations
of the regional competitiveness strategy, called "Staying
on Top: Winning the Job Wars of the Future,"
a $5 million, five-year plan to create 100,000 jobs
in the region and boost employment in all 13 counties.
For more information

vice president for global strategy, World Trade Center
North Carolina, (919) 281-2742 or daitkin@researchtriangle.org
