OUR PARTNERSHIP’S MISSION
The mission of the GREATER MSP Partnership is to accelerate regional competitiveness and inclusive economic growth through job creation, capital investment and execution of strategic initiatives. The Partnership works to strengthen our region’s global sectors, prioritize talent, and tell our story.
REGIONAL INDICATORS DASHBOARD
We track our region’s annual change on critical economic, environmental, and social outcomes relative to 11 U.S. peer regions to inform our regional strategy, create 10-year ambitions and ensure progress on priorities.
A partnership built to strengthen the region — and help you succeed in it
The GREATER MSP Partnership is the regional economic development partnership for the 15-county Minneapolis–Saint Paul region.
GREATER MSP brings together leaders from business, government, higher education, philanthropy and community organizations who share an interest in the region’s economic success.
Together, they provide something no single organization can: a regional network with the relationships, knowledge and reach to move the economy forward — and help companies, investors and partners plug into the opportunities being created here.
For leaders across the region
GREATER MSP gives regional leaders a way to work together on economic opportunities and challenges that cross institutional, sector and geographic boundaries.
Through our partnership, leaders can:
- Develop a shared understanding of the regional economy and its competitive position
- Identify opportunities where coordinated action can have greater impact
- Build relationships across industries, sectors and communities
- Align expertise, resources and influence around shared priorities
- Strengthen industries and capabilities that matter to the region’s long-term competitiveness
- Help attract investment, companies and talent to the Minneapolis–Saint Paul region
The GREATER MSP Partnership is designed to turn regional relationships into regional capacity — making it easier to move from individual efforts to collective action.
