  • Innovate

    Some people call Edina a community of innovation. In Edina we call it the “Life Lab.” This is the place where new happens and ideas are tested. Edina offers a wide variety of organizations and people with a range of backgrounds, perspectives and expertise into a community designed for innovation and collaboration. GreenUmbrella is the magnet that draws the right combination of people and organizations to the table to bring ideas to reality. 

     Life. Reimagined.
