Highlighting Minnesotan Innovation

Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton was joined by representatives from two biomedical companies, 3M and Medtronic, on the trade mission trip to China. 3M has had a rubber and adhesives branch in China since 1984—3M China Ltd.—which has its headquarters located in Shanghai. Medtronic also has a presence in China, hosting two patient care centers in the cities of Beijing and Wuhan.
Outcomes: 
In addition to fostering Minnesota’s trade relationship with China, this trip was a confirmation of Minnesota’s commitment to the exchange of both ideas and information as China and the United States move forward through the 21st century.
