Innovate28 drives workforce, business and regional growth across the greater Fargo-Moorhead area.

PILLARS OF WORK Talent and Workforce We’re tackling one of the region’s greatest challenges: workforce growth. Our goal is bold—adding more than 12,000 workers by January 2029. That’s a 30% increase over historical trends. Through strategic partnerships, targeted initiatives and communitywide collaboration, we’re building the workforce our region needs to thrive.

Business Development We’re driving growth at scale. We aim to facilitate 130 business expansions or relocations—a 33% increase—that will generate over 3,500 high-quality jobs with average annual compensation exceeding $74,000. When these jobs materialize, they’ll unlock more than $1 Billion in annual business sales, fueling long-term economic strength for the region.

Public Policy We’re building a stronger region through public policy alignment. Our target is to ensure at least 28 of 38 local legislators across North Dakota and Minnesota champion the priorities of our business community. With 24 already fully aligned, we’re closing the gap to secure a pro-growth, pro-business policy environment that drives regional success.

Join our region’s public and private leaders who have invested in the strategic mission of Innovate28, as we work to create a skilled talent pool, attract new businesses and influence policies that foster long-term success.
