StarTribune: Med-tech partnership promotes Minnesota as a place to do business

Rochester’s med-tech business community is getting a national boost.

Earlier this week, Greater MSP – an economic development agency in the Twin Cities – announced the Minnesota Medical Manufacturing Partnership, giving medical manufacturers working in Rochester and in Minnesota access to federal agencies that coordinate $1 billion in economic development assistance.

Rochester is in one of 24 regions selected by the federal government as part of a nationwide effort to reignite manufacturing.

Destination Medical Center Executive Director Lisa Clarke said the partnership will help transform Rochester’s med-tech community in the Discovery Square Subdistrict and our region.
