Several Iowa Coalition for Innovation & Growth (ICIG) teams are currently working to encourage economic growth. These teams include:

• IOWA ENTREPRENEUR NETWORK (IEN)
  The Iowa Entrepreneur Network (IEN) provides Iowa entrepreneurs and investors with a virtual “community of practice” seeking to integrate entrepreneurial expertise and interests across the state. IEN’s goal is to create a critical mass of talent to accelerate the growth of Iowa business and career opportunities.

• ADVANCED MANUFACTURING RESEARCH AND COLLABORATION CLUSTER (AMRCC)
  The Advanced Manufacturing Research and Collaboration Cluster (AMRCC) is a partnership of Iowa end-product manufacturers and their suppliers. The group promotes the use of advanced engineering processes and manufacturing technologies while conducting collaborative research and sharing best practices. For more information about AMRCC, please visit www.amrcc.com.
  
  
• CONTINUOUS PROCESS IMPROVEMENT (CPI or Lean)
  Successful businesses worldwide subscribe to the philosophy behind Lean Enterprise – the continuous critical evaluation and improvement of administrative and production methods.
  
  
• SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, AND MATHEMATICS (STEM)
  Generating new interest and creating enthusiasm among teachers and students for STEM-oriented curricula and related careers in Iowa is a critically important issue. The ultimate goal is for Iowa to be recognized as the premier state in valuing and delivering a quality education in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
