Spanning the social sciences research and development to the application of new technologies, North Carolina is strategically positioned to lead this industry with world-renowned universities, research and development institutions, businesses and medical practices. The Research Triangle Institute (RTI) identified two critical industries for initial supply chain analysis in North Carolina: scientific research and development services and computer terminals and other computer peripheral equipment manufacturing.
