Innovation is thriving across the state of North Carolina and communities are becoming more intentional about providing spaces that nurture creative thinking.

The Institute for Emerging Issues hosted a challenge about “innovation spaces” this week. Host Frank Stasio talks with the Institute’s director, Anita Brown Graham; two of the Spaces Challenge finalists: Robin Cape of The Collider in Asheville and Melissa Thibault of the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics; and co-founder of Packard Place, a home for entrepreneurship in Charlotte, Dan Roselli.
