????TAMPA BAY – Budding business. Panther launched in June to work as a middleman to help U.S. companies find and hire talent across the world without the hassle of setting up foreign entities.

????RALEIGH – Accelerating success. Smart grid technology firm Tantalus Systems has entered into a Letter of Intent (LOI) to merge with RiseTech Capital Corp., a TSX Venture Exchange-listed capital pool company. Once the merger is finalized, the Raleigh-based company will take over leadership of the combined entity. Tech it out.
????RTP – Healthy Climate, Healthy Lives. Neuroscience pioneer Biogen, with manufacturing in RTP, has drawn an aggressive line in the sand in support of the environment. The company just announced a $250 million, 20-year initiative – Healthy Climate, Healthy Lives – to eliminate fossil fuel emissions across all its operations by 2040. Get the deets.
Amazon is launching launched high-end fashion luxury stores — but if you want to buy anything, chances are you’ll need to get in line.
The “Luxury Stores” program launched this week as a “store within a store” experience currently available to only select Amazon Prime members in the US. You can shop only if you’re invited, and while you can request an invitation, there’s already a wait list.
Tonight on SOUTH POD, a chat worth listening to – again!
Manufacturing has been impacted by the pandemic both in ways we could have predicted and in ways could have never guessed. Join us LIVE tonight at 8 PM EDT on the DIG SOUTH Facebook page as Theorem Head of Marketing, Andrew Upah, and former Vice President of Accounts, FK Funderburke, share how the company has shifted during this time.
