External Affairs

Our city of Winston-Salem is called “the city of innovation and the arts.” This comes from its School of the Arts, its many galleries, and its long history of innovative enterprise: Hanes, Endura Mills, Reynolds, Wachovia, Texas Pete, Krispy Kreme, BB&T and more. Wake’s NanoteQ, embraces the innovative spirit of our fore-fathers and the entrepreneurial partnerships with industry that make it possible.

Edison, Firestone, Ford, many of the past centuries great industrialists and innovators have come to Winston.
