I know this is a drive for many readers – but fun news. According to the Minneapolis St Paul Business Journal…

Google and the CoCo co-working space in downtown Minneapolis are partnering to host a two-year series of events for tech entrepreneurs.

The tech giant and CoCo announced the partnership at a Google for Entrepreneurs Day conference in Minneapolis on Wednesday. The first event in the series, a Google Developer Group meetup, will be held Wednesday night.

The organizations are still finalizing a full schedule for 2013. Events already in the works include Startup Weekend Twin Cities — a program that gives tech entrepreneurs a weekend to develop a business concept and pitch it to a panel of judges — as well as online educational sessions for entrepreneurs and networking events.
