Minnesota Rural Urban Connections Video Conferences
We know there are a lot of examples of innovation and rural urban collaborations happening all over Minnesota. We began simply, to collect through a series video conferences held across the state, the stories, examples and experiences you had of rural urban connections in businesses, food and agriculture, arts, health care, education, telecom & information technology, workforce development, energy, environment, and other areas that emerged from these conversations and idea-sharing opportunities. Below is a list of the Video Conferences that were held between January and June, 2010.
