TECHdotMN — ADC sale leaves high-tech vacuum in Minnesota

ADC sale leaves high-tech vacuum in Minnesota

July 15, 2010 | sourced Comments

By Steve Alexander, Star Tribune

“ADC Telecommunications Inc. may be the last member of a bygone era when the Twin Cities was one of the nation’s top technology centers.

Whether the state can nurture the rise of software firms to take its place and keep Minnesota on the tech map after the $1.25 billion sale of ADC becomes final remains to be seen.”
