BR&E Strategies Program: Industries

Minnesota BR&E Strategies Programs currently cover the following industries:

  • Manufacturing
  • Tourism
  • Dairy
  • Swine
  • Farming
  • Technology
  • Mixed Business (manufacturing, retail, services)

Specialized surveys are available for each of these industries. The surveys were carefully developed with the assistance of business leaders and development professionals in each sector.

While the overall process for implementing each type of program is similar, the make-up of the local Task Force varies with the type of program. For example, the business persons and development professionals in a tourism project will likely be different than those in a manufacturing or dairy program.
