Our research at the Michigan Economic Development Corporation is helping us to target the specific industry sectors in which Michigan has a competitive advantage, either in its workforce, natural resources, topography or geography.

We are diversifying our state’s economy, using our historically innovative manufacturing infrastructure and unmatched, highly-skilled workforce to grab the new opportunities of the 21st century. In the first 18 months of the program, we held over 200 meetings with Michigan businesses and global suppliers, yielding $350 million in new orders.
