Connectivity
Connectivity via technology networks and relationships via people networks reign supreme in the network society.

Today, places develop competitive advantage based on their ability to quickly mobilize the best people, resources and capabilities and this is most effectively accomplished through networks. Kevin Kelly, editor of WIRED magazine, has called networks possibility factories.

Here in the Corridor there’s plenty of networking going on and we’ve got plenty of technology connections. Fargo’s 5:01 Entrepreneur Society and the 7:01 Tech Forum and Center for Innovation’s Entrepreneur Forum in Grand Forks provide regular opportunities for people in business, finance, government and universities to find out what’s happening in the region and what’s new.

Connectivity to national and international destinations and to the Corridor remain essential, even in a wired world where distance is often viewed as dead. Both Fargo and Grand Forks are home to airports with frequent, daily jet service to major regional hubs within the United States.

There's fiber in these plains. Supported by organizations like the Dakota Carrier Network, we've got the telecomputing capacity to support the IT intensive demands of tech companies like Microsoft Business Solutions, Amazon.com, and SEI Information Techology.
