“In 2021, we’ve found that recessionary fears have come down, but opinions about the economy are quite mixed, mainly due to key industry disruptors that manufacturers expect to be facing for some time to come. We will highlight that manufacturers continue to be innovative problem-solvers who feel confident and optimistic about the things they can control, and don’t concern themselves about the things they cannot,” said Bob Kill, president and CEO of Enterprise Minnesota.

Bob Kill is available for interviews. Please contact Robert Lodge to schedule an interview: rlodge@enterpriseminnesota.org 612-455-4213.
