Michigan has the trappings to be a diverse startup powerhouse. This is good news not only for Michiganders but for the broader Midwest ecosystem as well. Helping to rescue the region from its “rust belt” moniker, Michigan is proving that innovation is strong in the Midwest.
Ironically, although entrepreneurship continues to grow in the Ann Arbor-Detroit corridor, one of the key challenges that the region faces is indeed mobility-related. There are extremely limited public transit options between the two cities, which means that one must drive a car between them in order to connect.
As an outsider looking in, I see a unique opportunity for Michigan to accelerate its path to ongoing success by uniting the community and building an even more intentional innovation corridor between Ann Arbor and Detroit. By building more collaborative structures across its wide swath of expertise and experience, the state could transform the workforce with new skills, attract investors, and thoughtfully plan to improve life for all citizens — not just those involved in technology.
