Tap into the Triangle. 

Being the best comes naturally to us.

The Research Triangle Region is not only where innovation is made, it’s where innovation is put to work. Whether your view is from a lab bench or a tractor seat, you want to be the best in your field.

You want the best talent—pulled from over a dozen of the top research and agriculture institutions in the country. You need facilities—not just plans for future infrastructure—the office, lab, and collaboration space to help foster new discoveries, new growth, and new opportunities, all ready for you now.

You need capital, both human and financial, to nourish growth and opportunity.
And the wide open spaces, the crop rows, pastures, and forests to apply your discoveries.

Because it’s not just about being the best in the field. You also need to be the best in the lab, in the boardroom, in the markets, in the talent pool, and in the cutting edge of agriculture.

Tap into the Triangle. We’re the home for the best in AgTech and we provide the room to grow and the resources necessary for you to be
the best in the field.
