2023 Innovate Michigan! Summit Fast Approaching

At the beginning of July, the 2023 Innovate Michigan! Summit registration will go live via Whova. This in-person Summit will be held on August 17th, 2023, at the Kellogg Hotel and Conference Center in East Lansing. 

The agenda includes invited keynote Dr. Nabil Nasr, CEO of ReMade Institute, Associate Provost for Academic Affairs and Director, Golisano Institute for Sustainability at Rochester Institute of Technology.

Join us for presentations surrounding innovative economic development tools, models, programs, and policies from around the state, including our 2023 Project Series. 

We would also like to hear from you AND your networks! Help the MSU EDA University Center for Regional Economic Innovation (REI) develop equitable economic development project ideas for 2024. Your innovative idea submission could be broad or focused and anonymous if you choose. Your topical project ideas will inform our 2024 call for proposals that are most likely to create or retain jobs and/or businesses in economically distressed communities and regions of Michigan. 

Please consider sharing the Ideas to Innovation Survey with your networks. We look forward to seeing you all at the Summit! If you have any questions, please email REI Coordinator, Jenan Jondy, directly at jondyjen@msu.edu.
