For the last three years, the BIG Innovation Lab inspired and supported more than 35 local businesses—each determined to refine their operations, grow as leaders, and build something that would last. We’re deeply grateful to every entrepreneur who poured their time, trust, and energy into the Lab.
We’re also thankful to the Edina Chamber for providing space where the Lab could take root. That space became more than walls—it became a place of transformation.
As this chapter closes, we leave with a deep sense of fulfillment. The Lab stayed 100% true to its commitments—to its community, its partners, its mission, and its values. What we built was purposeful. What we invested was meaningful. And what comes next will be shaped by the same integrity and passion that carried us to this point.
Though the lights are off in one room, the ideas born here will keep shining. The spirit of the Lab lives on—and new beginnings are already stirring.
