RTRP Lists Games Industry as Emerging Cluster

The Research Triangle Regional Partnership has just released its five-year plan to promote economic growth in the Research Triangle Region of North Carolina, create 100,000 jobs and boost employment in all 13 counties in the region.  The plan identifies "Advanced Gaming and E-Learning" as one of three emerging cluster opportunities (along with clean/green tech and defense tech) as a focus for economic development efforts.

The report cites NCSU's Digital Games Research Center as well as the NCCC System and UNC Chapel Hill as strong contributors to the research and educational core of North Carolina's gaming industry.
