State of Manufacturing®
The comprehensive annual survey of Minnesota’s manufacturing economy.
We’re in-person for 2021!
Please join us for Enterprise Minnesota’s 13th annual State of Manufacturing® survey release event from 3:00-7:00 p.m., November 10th at the Minneapolis Marriott Northwest.
This event is always an excellent opportunity to celebrate Minnesota’s manufacturing industry with hundreds of your fellow manufacturers and all who work in support of the industry.
Our pollster, Rob Autry, founder of Meeting Street Insights in Charleston, South Carolina, will share his analysis of how manufacturers are responding to the challenges and opportunities in this post-COVID economy.
This year’s panel will consist of Enterprise Minnesota consultants who will reflect on the issues and share their insights on this year’s survey. Led by President and CEO Bob Kill, they will discuss what successful manufacturers are doing to navigate current challenges.
Participate in a focus group
Manufacturing executives are invited to participate in one of our confidential focus groups that provides context and insight to the trends our survey reveals. Focus group sessions are happening throughout September 2021.
