Driving Michigan’s Future: The Detroit-Ann Arbor Innovation Corridor

LeadersConnect Detroit presents …
Driving Michigan’s Future: The Detroit-Ann Arbor Innovation Corridor – connecting unrivaled assets and global talent to compete in the Information Age.

The Ann Arbor–Detroit corridor is not just a geography; it is Michigan’s best argument for why the Midwest can lead in the next economy.

But that argument only lands if we stop admiring the potential and start competing at scale: connecting capital to founders, telling our story louder, and building the connective tissue that keeps talent here. This panel is about turning that ambition into a plan.

Panelists: 

• Moderator: Phil Santer, Chief Operating Officer, Ann Arbor SPARK
• Justine Johnson, Chief Mobility Officer, MEDC
• Christianne Malone, Chief Program Officer, TechTown Detroit
• Mark Smith, President, MiHQ

Hosts: 

• Dr. Rob Pasick
