Freshwater is a primary driver of Michigan’s economy. Through the Green Jobs For Blue Waters initiative, Michigan is transforming its economy into one that expands and improves existing water-dependent industries and provides opportunities for the creation of specialized industries related to water conservation, quality and transport technologies, wind energy production, pollution remediation and eco-tourism.

Michigan is the home of opportunities to create Green Jobs For Blue Waters – clean, “green” industries that provide solutions for the sustainable use, protection and restoration of our state and national freshwater treasures. The goal is to establish Michigan as a premier hub of water technology innovation and deployment to address water quality and quantity challenges in Michigan and worldwide.

The Green Jobs For Blue Waters initiative provides the focus, support and assistance to businesses in Michigan -- or considering doing business in Michigan – that identify and advance opportunities for growing the clean water sector in Michigan and globally.
