Working toward increased competitiveness, more capital investment and continual job growth.
The Regional Business Retention & Expansion Coordination Strategy (BR&E) serves the business community by building relationships, collecting and sharing data, identifying opportunities and determining solutions.
A core function of the BR&E strategy involves meeting with business owners, CEOs and top managers annually to build relationships and collect important information. The Minnesota Chamber of Commerce, the Department of Employment & Economic Development (DEED) and GREATER MSP work together to identify key questions to ask organizations and companies.
Working in partnership with multiple organizations, we increase business competitiveness in Greater MSP and positively impact capital investment and job growth.
