Whether you are evaluating a new location, expanding an existing operation or looking for partners in a specialized industry, the GREATER MSP Partnership can help you understand the region and make the right connections.
A diverse, sophisticated economy
The Greater MSP region is home to global leaders across health care and medical technology, food and agriculture, advanced manufacturing, financial services, consumer products and technology.
That diversity creates deep pools of specialized talent, sophisticated suppliers, customers and partners — and makes it easier for companies to draw expertise from across industries.
Talent to build with
The region’s highly educated workforce combines technical expertise with one of the country’s strongest traditions of corporate leadership and innovation.
Companies here draw from major universities, technical colleges and training institutions as well as experienced talent across a wide range of industries.
Connected to markets
A central North American location, strong air service, major interstate connections, rail, river, seaport and digital infrastructure connect Greater MSP to customers and supply chains across the country and around the world.
