Grow Minnesota!® program expands to help businesses recover, grow in every corner of the state.
The Minnesota Chamber’s Grow Minnesota!® program is expanding its services with new opportunities for businesses to grow and receive economic development and assistance through its Grow Minnesota!® program. For more than 15 years, this program has offered one-on-one assistance to businesses who want to stay and grow throughout the state.
Grow Minnesota!® has offered business assistance for more than 15 years in Minnesota, operating as a premier economic development program. One pillar of the program engages local and regional chambers and economic development entity partners who conduct Grow Minnesota! business retention visits year-round. In this new operating model, Grow Minnesota! and its partners are more focused than ever on retaining and growing Minnesota businesses. Working with Grow Minnesota!® means access to economic data and insights as the state moves toward economic recovery and access to Minnesota-based suppliers on any number of products and services that could help your company grow. Visit mnchamber.com/growMN to connect with the Grow! program or request a visit.
Ingrid Christensen, President of INGCO
“It's still a miracle that we were able to get into Canada and our ability to do so led us to our largest contract of 2020! The swift response from Grow Minnesota!® was critical. Their connection with Canadian officials meant that we were able to overcome an international travel ban and successfully have our project manager enter the country in two days. Without the Chamber's help, she would have been turned away from the border and we would not have been able to perform our contract.”
Nicole Anthony, CEO of COYABLU
"My partner and I have a new startup, COYABLU Tequila Cocktails, based here in Minneapolis. We've really benefited from Grow Minnesota! and working with both its staff. The team was able to meet with us quickly and provided specific advice and resources for the problems we were hoping to address (grants and state licensing). Their feedback has saved us many hours that we'd otherwise have spent researching. Not to mention, they made some very strategic introductions for us. Grow Minnesota! is a valuable resource for any Minnesota entrepreneur looking to expand their business network, knowledge and get more things done quickly."
Growing Minnesota’s economy through supply chain connections
The MN Supplier Match database helps businesses mend broken connections and spur Minnesota’s economy. COVID-19 disrupted supply chains around the world. But there are suppliers all over the state who can provide accessibility, short lead times, shared networks and trusted quality. The Minnesota Chamber’s Grow Minnesota!® program provides a database for Minnesota businesses seeking connections to Minnesota’s robust supply chain. Visit mnchamber.com/suppliermatch to make a connection today!
In addition to the database, we schedule MN Supplier Match Roundtables throughout the year. Each has a specific industry focus.
The next MN Supplier Match Roundtable will be held on May 18, 10:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. This roundtable will help businesses explore how they can advance digital strategies within their companies and connect with leading Minnesota suppliers who can help develop these solutions.
Experts from Minnesota companies in supply chain logistics, e-commerce, digital marketing, and more will lead roundtable discussions with businesses looking to explore trends and best practices around digital strategies.
Event participants will be able to network, learn from peer businesses, and connect with industry experts.
