Just as Detroit is rebranding itself as a city, its tech community is also on to something new. Detroit is starting to recieve more and more national recognition for its new and ever-growing tech hub in addition to its rebounding, technologically advanced automotive industry.
If you continue to doubt that Michigan, Detroit in particular, is the new epicenter for technological development then maybe these statistics will change your mind.
These statistics come from Automation Alley, a technology business association and business accelerator dedicated to growing the economy of Southeast Michigan and enhancing the region’s reputation around the world. Automation Alley offers talent and business development programs and services to tech-focused businesses of all sizes — from startups to large corporations — to help them grow and prosper.
