Research Triangle Foundation is located in the Research Triangle Park (RTP), which is the largest research park in the United States. The RTP is located in Raleigh, NC, which was historically a southern economy dependent on tobacco, textiles, and furniture manufacturing. The park houses hundreds of companies, including science and technology firms, government agencies, academic institutions, startups, and nonprofits. The foundation offers meeting and office spaces, educational opportunities, and networking events. However, the area has since become a hub for innovation and technology, attracting a highly educated workforce.
