Iowa Industry Research Reports

CIRAS strives to be Iowa’s definitive source for industry knowledge and best practices.

We regularly conduct research on industry subsectors deemed to be of importance to the Iowa economy. Our research includes surveys of Iowa companies, profiles of various industries, and topic-specific white papers.  Recent research is highlighted below.
