ribbon cutting

We would like to thank Congressman Robin Hayes (R-8th District) and State Senator Tony Rand (D-Cumberland) for attending the ribbon cutting on the new statewide innovation asset, the Defense & Security Technology Accelerator (DSTA). The DSTA brings together the world class military assets of North Carolina with the cutting edge innovation assets in the state’s technology industries. The DSTA was conceived by the North Carolina Technology Association (NCTA) with assistance from the Cumberland County Business Council and is being implemented by the Partnership for Defense Innovation, a statewide 501(c)3. Special thanks to Bordeaux Florist, B&B Catering, Sam’s Party Tents, and Freelance Photography.
