The Piedmont RING comprises Raleigh-Durham and the surrounding areas. This area is a powerhouse for many large technology and pharmaceutical companies in North Carolina and many minority-owned businesses that support these large companies. We encourage you to join our monthly meetings, connect with corporate and MBE members, and assist with our mission of growing strong minority business participation in the Raleigh-Durham area.
