Bringing together stakeholders in the heart of the Iron Range

The Midwest Industrial Transformation Initiative (MITI), in collaboration with the Department of Iron Range Resources & Rehabilitation, is convening a stakeholder forum this November, bringing together federal and state lawmakers, industry representatives, tribal and community leaders, researchers, and other stakeholders—all united by a shared goal: to accelerate the Upper Midwest’s role in leading the next generation of industrial innovation.

Position Minnesota as a national leader in industrial transformation, including advanced iron and steel and aviation fuel
Foster collaboration across sectors—research, industry, government, community
Identify regulatory and policy barriers
Drive investment in infrastructure and innovation
Strengthen the regional supply chain and demand-side coordination
