You are invited to register for the 15th Annual Innovate Michigan! Summit - where academics, economic developers, entrepreneurs, local government leaders, students, nonprofits, and community partners from across the state gather to explore innovative economic development approaches and learn from this past years’ projects shaping Michigan’s future.
Dr. Qian Chunqi will present on his Co-Learning Plan project examining whether Low-Power-Wide-Area-Network (LPWAN) technology can bridge connectivity gaps in rural Michigan communities where broadband access is limited. Using AI-assisted analysis of field-based communication performance, the project evaluates how affordable communication devices can improve delivery of direct care services for older adults and agricultural workers while creating new employment opportunities in rural communities in healthcare delivery, technical support, and community-based service coordination.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to visit the co-located Michigan Inventors Summit at the Kellogg Hotel & Conference Center. The event features inventors from across Michigan showcasing products and innovations, educational sessions, keynote speakers, and a pitch competition designed to help entrepreneurs advance and elevate their inventions.
Engage in conversations around REI’s evolving strategic direction and future priorities as it continues supporting Michigan’s most economically vulnerable communities. Additional details, including the full agenda and additional speakers can be found, here. Please share the Summit invitation with your networks. Thank you again for your continued partnership and support!
