Where
Innovation
Becomes Reality
Red Wing Ignite fuels economic development by working with key sectors of the community to spur innovation by supporting entrepreneurs, businesses, and students. The non-profit organization was founded by the community of Red Wing in 2013, with the support of local foundations and the City of Red Wing.
E1 Ignite Cup
What is the E1 Ignite Cup?
A regional pitch competition, sponsored by Red Wing Ignite and Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation, was created to elevate entrepreneurs and emerging startups as a feeder to the statewide MN Cup competition. Finalists present their idea/business to a panel of judges made up of entrepreneurs, investors, business/regional leaders, and an MN Cup representative.
Portraits of a community:
Red Wing
There arenโt many small, rural towns with an international brand.
But Red Wing, Minnesota, is one of them.ย
Chances are you might even own a pair of the classic, durable boots and shoes that have made the townโsT name famous around the globe. Or, if not, youโve at least heard of Red Wing Shoe Co. โ one of the Mississippi River port townโs iconic local businesses along with the likes of Riedell Skates, Central Research Laboratories, and S.B. Foot Tanning Co. The manufacturing heritage also includes a division of the multinational giant 3M. Together, their presence and products bring a renown that few cities of its size can match.
And yet, somehow, Red Wing manages to be so much more than that.
