Engage2 Builds on the Momentum of the June 2012 Inaugural Event

“Everyone was very pleased with the energy and collaborative creativity from our first Engage unConference last June,” said Ken Nisbet, executive director of U-M Innovation Partnerships. “The Engage series is another example of how the university and the MVCA are providing leadership to enhance the entrepreneurial resources for the benefit of our region and our state.”

“When you bring established businesses, young companies, startups, and investors – all of whom have a stake in a vibrant regional & state economy – together, good ideas and creative solutions can emerge. The trick is creating an inviting environment for that to happen. Based on the energy and ideas that came from the first Entrepreneurs Engage event, that environment has been successfully achieved.”
