Welcome to the Governor’s Summit: GROWING NEBRASKA
hosted by Governor Jim Pillen

There’s no better place to live—or do business—than our extraordinary home here in Nebraska. With competitive, pro-growth policies and key investments in the next generation, our message is simple: The Good Life Is Open for Business.
Our state’s competitive edge starts with our people. Nebraskans are extraordinary innovators, generous givers, and we work our tails off every day to grow our state.
We’re about agriculture and food. From corn to cattle, Nebraska produces the very best. We must promote and defend our family farms and ranches.
We’re about fuel. We produce the lowest-carbon ethanol in the world. There are extraordinary opportunities to make the next generation of biofuels in Nebraska.
We’re patriotic. Offutt Air Force Base is home to America’s nuclear strategic command and deterrence. Our military technologies support the nation’s defense and help protect allies throughout the Free World.
We punch above our weight in manufacturing, insurance, construction, and transportation.
Nebraska’s economy is strengthened by reliable power and plentiful water. We have the largest, most sustainable underground aquifer on the planet. It’s critical that we protect and preserve these precious resources.
Nebraska is an extraordinary place. As state leaders, we have responsibility to pass on The Good Life—and to make it even better for our kids and grandkids.
I hope you’ll join me in Kearney for this year’s Summit as we talk about how best to invest in our youth, our businesses, and the future of our great state.
