Osborn370 is “Innovation Central” for Saint Paul and the East Metro.
On average, we spend two-thirds of our lives at work. But the definition of “work” has evolved from the 9-to-5 desk job into one that seamlessly blends professional, personal, and social life. Today’s innovative growth companies value connection over hierarchy, searching for purpose rather than grabbing the next rung on the ladder. That’s why our vision at Osborn370 was to create an open environment for companies, individuals, and organizations to create, innovate and collaborate. Because when great ideas have the space to come together—that’s when lightbulb moments turn into motion.
