Rock Solid Foundation

Every successful business rests on a foundation of transportation, communications and energy infrastructure—and Minnesota’s is rock solid.

Our network of highways, railways and waterways makes it easy to get materials to the factory and finished products to markets worldwide. Located in the heart of the U.S. Midwest, we’re just a short flight away from any of North America’s major financial or commercial centers. And with direct flights to key cities across the globe, our hub airport can put you face-to-face with overseas customers, distributors, partners and suppliers at a moment’s notice.

Wired or wireless, Minnesota’s telecommunications infrastructure and professional services are top shelf, delivering voice, video, Internet and data communications in urban centers and rural reaches alike.

A healthy balance of coal, nuclear power, and renewable resources like wind, hydropower, wood, and waste allows Minnesota to offer an abundant supply of electricity at prices comfortably below the national average.  Natural gas is piped from suppliers throughout North America at very competitive prices.
