Welcome to Minne Inno.

Consider this your terminal to the Twin Cities ecosystem.

We're part of American Inno, a network of local innovation intelligence cultivating engaged startup, tech and entrepreneurial communities in 14 (and counting) markets across the country.

We're also part of the American City Business Journals, making us a sister site of the Minneapolis-St. Paul Business Journal. Learn more about us here.

But you're not here for us; you're here because you're interested, new to or directly involved with the Twin Cities innovation economy. Let us help you plug into this community and stay abreast of it.
