International Commerce & Mobility Forums
We envision a future where our state's transportation systems and supply chains are the most resilient, sustainable, and adaptive in the nation.
Our Aspiration
ICM Forums are a “platform” for our strategic thought leaders from the private, public, academic, non-profit and consulting communities to come together and work on improving the transportation and supply chain options for our Midwest region and in Minnesota. Our goal is to ensure ICM Forums are inclusive. All who are interested and those who can contribute are most welcomed to participate!
