About this Event
LeadersConnect Detroit Presents Driving Michigan’s Future: The Detroit-Ann Arbor Innovation Corridor - Connecting unrivaled assets and global talent to compete in the Information Age.
The Ann Arbor–Detroit corridor is not just a geography; it is Michigan's best argument for why the Midwest can lead in the next economy.
But that argument only lands if we stop admiring the potential and start competing at scale: connecting capital to founders, telling our story louder, and building the connective tissue that keeps talent here.
This panel is about turning that ambition into a plan.
Panel:
- Moderator: Phil Santer, Chief Operating Officer, Ann Arbor Spark
- Justine Johnson, Chief Mobility Officer, MEDC
- Christianne Malone, Chief Program Officer, TechTown Detroit
- Mark Smith, President, MiHQ
