Office for Business & Community Economic Development (OBCED)
Our mission is to contribute to the economic growth, development, and prosperity of Minnesota communities.
The Office for Business & Community Economic Development (OBCED) is a Social Enterprise whose purpose is to leverage the assets and resources of the University to create programs and services that provide innovative solutions to socioeconomic problems that impact communities.
OBCED is restructuring to increase our positive impact on the
economic development of Minnesota communities. We will reallocate resources from some of
our current programs to invest more in Supplier Diversity. Read about the changes here.
