Join us at Connect at Clyde on Tuesday, July 14th for a discussion on the future of industry in Minnesota and the broader from Dr. Rolf Weberg and Jamie Beck Alexander of the UMN Natural Resources Research Institute
As global markets, energy systems, and manufacturing technologies continue to evolve, Minnesota has a unique opportunity to build on its strengths in natural resources, innovation, and industrial expertise. This presentation will explore emerging opportunities across advanced manufacturing, energy systems, critical materials, and the industrial bioeconomy, and highlight how initiatives such as the Midwest Industrial Transformation Initiative (MITI), a newly formed partnership with the National Laboratory of the Rockies, and a statewide Industrial Transformation Roadmap are helping connect research, industry, communities, Tribal Nations, and public partners around a shared vision for long-term economic competitiveness.
Attendees will gain insight into the trends shaping the next generation of industry, the opportunities and challenges facing Minnesota, and what it will take to move from strategy and innovation to real-world deployment.
