Sioux Falls offers your business strong academic, industry and government partnerships, a growing pool of trained, productive employees and superior affordability in sites, buildings and utility rates. Here are a few reasons Sioux Falls is your number one choice.
Sioux Falls is emerging as a major international player in alternative energy research and development.
From wind farms and the companies that manufacture their components to POET's groundbreaking work on cellulosic ethanol, Sioux Falls is attracting a growing complement of research and development companies. Wind energy manufacturers find Sioux Falls' location in the center of the nation perfect for keeping their distribution costs low — and being close to the epicenter of wind farm growth. Our regional electrical providers are on the leading edge of work in developing SmartGrid technology for our area — and technological and energy research is a vital element in the rapid growth Sioux Falls has experienced in the past decade.
Sioux Falls is attracting—and graduating— world-class scientists and researchers.
Surrounded by public and private institutions of higher education, Sioux Falls is a regional research center, with specialties in renewable energies, information security and high tech solutions for industrial applications. The Graduate Education and Research (GEAR) Center provides a Sioux Falls focus for the work of tomorrow's energy problem-solvers. Top-flight energy professionals are already at work here, and others are eager to live and work in Sioux Falls.
We’re the “city of opportunity” for workers—and for you.
As one of the fastest-growing commercial centers in the heart of America, Sioux Falls attracts job seekers from all across the Midwest. With affordable housing and cost of living, metropolitan cultural and entertainment options and an expanding economy that spells “opportunity” to employees of all ages, Sioux Falls has seen consistent growth in population and available workforce throughout the past decade. In Sioux Falls, you will find the trained, motivated employees you need—and Sioux Falls workers are more productive, according to surveys of similar sites in other midwestern cities.
Sioux Falls has space to operate and room to grow.
When you’re planning a research facility, you’re thinking about the space you need to succeed. In addition to the South Dakota Technology Business Center, a high tech incubator facility with lab space available, Sioux Falls offers sites in established development parks with load-ready access roads, utility infrastructure in place and even rail spurs in some locations. Our occupancy and construction costs are among the lowest in the nation. In Sioux Falls, you’ll find affordable large sites, available large buildings and the transportation network to make your operation profitable from day one. You can check out available buildings and sites by clicking here.
Sioux Falls links you to affordable power and connectivity.

Xcel Energy provides reliable electrical service to the city, and national telecom carriers like CenturyLink and AT&T and smaller, regional carriers such as SDN, Midcontinent and Knowlogy supply redundant fiber optic networks to serve the needs of any corporate location.
