Chapman comes as Sioux City, its business leaders and local entrepreneurs work to build momentum for entrepreneurship and innovation in western Iowa’s largest city and the region.

“We’re bringing Tom here because he is one of the experts in the field and he has accomplished a lot in Omaha and Lincoln,” said Sam Wagner, Economic Development Specialist for the City of Sioux City.

“He will talk about some of the things that he has done and some of the things that we can do in Sioux City and in the I-29 corridor to develop an entrepreneurlai ecosystem.”
