Paul Krutko, President and CEO of Ann Arbor SPARK
In times of economic uncertainty, economic development organizations like Ann Arbor SPARK play an important role in helping businesses navigate risks, adapt to policy changes, and identify growth opportunities.
Tariffs can reshape supply chains, influence costs, and affect market competitiveness in various ways, and economic developers provide vital support by offering trade policy insights, connecting businesses with alternative suppliers, and advocating for local industries. They also collaborate with policymakers to address challenges and opportunities, strengthening communities through innovation, workforce development, and investment in domestic production.
Through export assistance, tariff impact assessments, and strategic planning, Ann Arbor SPARK can help businesses build resilience and achieve long-term success in a shifting global economy, thus driving economic prosperity for the communities they serve.
