The local economy is anchored by 18 Fortune 500 companies, including 3M, Target, General Mills, UnitedHealth Group, Best Buy, and Medtronic, as well as flourishing entrepreneurial enterprises from diverse industries. Many of these companies partner directly with Carlson School faculty or through the various centers (e.g., Juran Research Center, Supply Chain & Operations Board of Advisors, etc.), creating an exciting community for both research and teaching.
