Are you wondering what is really going on in the Detroit area entrepreneur community? [Freespace] and UIX Global are pleased to co-host a panel discussion and workshop with UIX Detroit and a delegation of Detroit-area innovators who will share their work on re-imagining and reactivating urban places through creative civic interventions. With other cities across the nation facing municipal policy gridlock and defunding of economic development initiatives, UIX Detroit is researching and reporting on the best practices that hold the promise of helping communities everywhere activate their locally-based human resource, capitalize on public-private partnerships for civic engagement, and mobilize regional networks for supporting new business initiatives. These are the scrappy leaders of Detroit’s locally-based startup revolution, paving the way towards a renaissance for the local economy. Come meet the delegation and find out how you can get involved in what is happening in Detroit and/or apply their lessons-learned in your own community.
