Team Kansas is a powerful lineup of dynamic organizations and visionary leaders united by a singular mission: to showcase the best of Kansas to the world.

We work tirelessly to attract businesses, site selectors, industry leaders, and partners, emphasizing Kansas’ strengths, opportunities, and unmatched business-friendly environment.

At Team Kansas, we are more than just economic development professionals; we are champions of collaboration. Our members include private business leaders, government officials, and economic developers, all working together to position Kansas as a premier destination for business expansion and investment.

Where access, industry, and community come together in a way that’s easy to see once you’re here.

Over the next few days, you’ll move quickly across the region. From Kansas City to Pittsburg, Parsons, Cherryvale, Chanute, and Iola, experiencing not just sites, but the systems and partnerships that make them work.

This region is built on production and possibility. From advanced manufacturing at Orizon Aerostructures to global-scale agriculture at Bartlett, from shovel-ready industrial assets at Great Plains Industrial Park to strong community infrastructure across each stop, Southeast Kansas shows up with real capacity. Pittsburg State University anchors the region with four-year talent, while Allen Community College in Iola adds practical workforce pathways through local industry partnerships.

You’ll see communities that know how to move together. You’ll see assets that are ready now, not years away. And just as important, you’ll spend time with the people who make projects succeed long after a deal is signed.

As you move through Kansas, we invite you to look beyond individual sites and consider the full picture: connectivity across regions, consistency in execution, and a shared commitment to getting projects done in communities where quality of life supports the people and families behind long-term growth.
