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.
Red Wing Ignite provides:
- Events to learn and connect
- Resources for all stages of businesses
- Programs to prepare students for the workforce of tomorrow
- Regional and national networks
- Gigabit internet access
- Collaborative space for meetings, co-working space and private offices
By bringing together like-minded entrepreneurs, investors and advisors, we create a unique ecosystem for the Red Wing community to share ideas, resources and expertise. This ecosystem, in turn, promotes local and regional economic development through new company creation and expansion.
