2026 Focus Group – Duluth

2026 State of Manufacturing® Executive Focus Group

Sponsored by APEX.

Minnesota manufacturing executives are invited to lend their voices to the 2026 State of Manufacturing® — Enterprise Minnesota’s annual statewide survey of the issues shaping the industry.

This year’s survey will capture quantitative data on some of the most consequential topics facing manufacturers today: shifting tariffs, supply chain disruptions, workforce challenges, and the growing role of automation and AI. The executive focus groups complement that data by adding the real-world context that only experienced industry leaders can provide.

Focus group participation is exclusively for Minnesota manufacturing executives. All comments are completely confidential — participants will not be named in any Enterprise Minnesota publications or promotional materials.

Focus groups are limited to 12 participants and available sessions will fill quickly — register today.
