Region 9 director completes world idea tour
MANKATO, Minn. (KEYC) -Ideas from around the world could soon be coming to Southern Minnesota’s agriculture and economic development.
Region Nine Development Commission Executive Director Nicole Griensewic Mickelson recently traveled to Puerto Rico as part of the Americas Competitiveness Exchange on Innovation and Entrepreneurship program.
There she exchanged ideas on best practices for business development.
Mickelson also traveled to Germany, where she exchanged ideas on the future of workforce development and the future of food.
She says now she hopes to keep the conversation going.
“I think we have a lot of really great partnerships, and I won’t be surprised if we do have some specific projects with them in the future,” said Griensewic Mickelson.
She will serve as an ACE Ambassador for the next two years.
