  • Investing in Minnesota Executive Summary
    INVESTING IN MINNESOTA EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This White Paper describes what we at Mairs & Power have long known̶Minnesota and the Upper Midwest present an opportunity-rich landscape for investors. We are neither arguing for economic policy prescriptions nor are we beating the drum of regional boosterism. We are investors seeking to understand our investment environment and explain to our friends and clients both the foundations of our success and the soundness of our investment focus into the future. 2 INVESTING IN MINNESOTA The Land of 10,000 Lakes enjoys a rich tradition where highly successful businesses can start in Minnesota, grow in Minnesota and thrive in Minnesota. Among the states, Minnesota ranks 21st in population and 15th in GDP per capita.1 With 16 Fortune 500 companies and seven of Forbes Largest Private Companies headquartered here, the North Star State boasts an out-sized presence as a welcoming home to large companies. Minnesota ranks 11th and 9th among the states respectively by those metrics. More significantly, calculating the number of companies per capita, Minnesota vaults to third for Fortune 500 companies and fourth for the largest private companies.2 The state’s success over decades in nurturing great organizations has generated an enviable roster—3M, Ecolab, Fastenal, General Mills, Hormel, Mayo Clinic, Medtronic, Target, Toro, and UnitedHealth Group are just a few successful companies with deep roots in Minnesota. Each has not only significantly impacted the industry in which it competes, but many have become exemplars of excellence in management, operations and long-term financial success—including, for the public companies among them, returns to shareholders.

  • Governor Announces Public-Private Partnership to Support Connectivity Needs of Minnesota Students
    Governor Announces Public-Private Partnership to Support Connectivity Needs of Minnesota Students The digital divide has been intensified by COVID-19, and the state is working together with philanthropic and business leaders to provide technology devices and internet access The Governor announced today a public-private partnership of philanthropic and business leaders from across Minnesota that aims to meet the technology and connectivity needs of families with school-aged children. Partnership for a ConnectedMN is being led by Best Buy, Comcast, Blandin Foundation, Saint Paul & Minnesota Foundation and the Minnesota Business Partnership, in collaboration with the state. In the wake of COVID-19, economic stress and recent civil injustices, ConnectedMN’s goal is to bring tech devices and internet access to students across the state, especially communities most in need, including Indigenous students and students of color, students from low-income families, and families residing in rural Minnesota. “I’m grateful to see Minnesota companies step up and help us meet the needs of students,” said Gov. Tim Walz. “We need to work together — from individuals to state agencies to companies to schools — to attack the opportunity gap and make sure that Minnesota is the best state for each and every child to grow up in and where they receive the best education possible.” Through hundreds of conversations with teachers, students and communities, the Governor, Lieutenant Governor and state agencies continue to hear about the urgent need for technology and connectivity. The Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) estimates that at least 25,000 Minnesota students still lack the tech devices and high-speed internet access essential for academic learning, out-of-school activities and critical services such as telehealth.
