More on the I-Q Corridor |
|
A distance of only 400 miles
separates two dynamos of the Midwest economy -
Chicago and the "twin cities" of Minneapolis and
St. Paul. That's a shorter drive or flight than
what separates San Diego from the "Silicon Valley"
in California.
Strategically located
between Chicago and the Twin Cities and traversed
by Interstates 90 and 94 lies Wisconsin, one of
the nation's fastest growing technology states in
its own right. Learn more
