Index & pillar read
| Index / pillar | Value | Standing | What a high vs low value means — and where Minnesota sits |
|---|---|---|---|
| SPI State Power | 50.3 | Moderate · #18/51 | Mid-pack. High would mean a heavyweight that anchors national AI capacity and pulls in capital and talent; low would mean limited absolute weight — a smaller node leaning on capacity built in larger states. ▲ high: a heavyweight that anchors national AI capacity and pulls in capital and talent · ▼ low: limited absolute weight — a smaller node leaning on capacity built in larger states |
| SCC State Coefficient | 55.2 | Moderate · #18/51 | Mid-pack. High would mean deep capability per resident — a concentrated, high-intensity AI economy; low would mean thin intensity per resident — capability is sparse relative to population. ▲ high: deep capability per resident — a concentrated, high-intensity AI economy · ▼ low: thin intensity per resident — capability is sparse relative to population |
| SDI State Agentic | 57.6 | Moderate · #18/51 | Mid-pack. High would mean agents are widely deployed locally — a near-term productivity multiplier; low would mean agentic deployment is shallow — the local agent lever is under-used. ▲ high: agents are widely deployed locally — a near-term productivity multiplier · ▼ low: agentic deployment is shallow — the local agent lever is under-used |
| Talent Talent | 52.6 | Moderate · #16/51 | Mid-pack. High would mean a deep talent pool — the scarcest input to building AI; low would mean a shallow talent base that constrains how much can be built locally. ▲ high: a deep talent pool — the scarcest input to building AI · ▼ low: a shallow talent base that constrains how much can be built locally |
| Capital Capital | 43.3 | Moderate · #19/51 | Mid-pack. High would mean abundant capital flowing into building cognitive infrastructure; low would mean thin investment — good ideas struggle to scale locally. ▲ high: abundant capital flowing into building cognitive infrastructure · ▼ low: thin investment — good ideas struggle to scale locally |
| Research Research | 58.3 | Strong · #13/51 | High here — a strong research base feeding a pipeline of ideas and people. ▲ high: a strong research base feeding a pipeline of ideas and people · ▼ low: a weak research base — fewer home-grown breakthroughs and spinouts |
| Infrastructure Infrastructure | 64.0 | Moderate · #18/51 | Mid-pack. High would mean the physical and digital rails to run AI at scale are in place; low would mean infrastructure gaps cap how much AI can actually be run locally. ▲ high: the physical and digital rails to run AI at scale are in place · ▼ low: infrastructure gaps cap how much AI can actually be run locally |
| Agentic Agentic | 57.6 | Moderate · #18/51 | Mid-pack. High would mean agents are actively deployed — an early-mover productivity edge; low would mean little agentic deployment — the near-term lever is unused. ▲ high: agents are actively deployed — an early-mover productivity edge · ▼ low: little agentic deployment — the near-term lever is unused |
Strengths to build on
- Research (58.3, Strong) — a strong research base feeding a pipeline of ideas and people.
Risk factors
- No acute structural gaps stand out across the state pillars.
