Innovation is All We Know
You might think about any midsize Midwest city and immediately think farming. Let the Cedar Rapids Region change your mind.
It’s true that this region started as blue-collar, driven by agriculture and factory work. Those roots made us resourceful, hardworking, and innovative, always thinking about what’s next. Agriculture to manufacturing to aerospace to IT.
Arthur Collins created transmitter technology that helped explorers navigate the subarctic, US soldiers win World War II, and astronauts discover space. A Rockwell Collins engineer named David Van Dusseldorp sat on a rooftop in Cedar Rapids to receive the first signal from a GPS satellite.
That spirit of invention and innovation has only continued to now include expanded opportunities in aerospace, big data, and integrated healthcare systems.
