Today’s announcement by Tyson Foods further strengthens Chicago’s status as a hub for the global food industry. We have seen a number of major food companies recently decide to locate their global headquarters in Chicago – companies like McDonald’s, Kraft Heinz, ConAgra and Oscar Mayer, and soon we will be home to the Mars Wrigley Confectionary. This fund will support the next generation of food entrepreneurs and help keep Chicago at the center of the food industry and on the leading edge of the culinary world.
