Why sponsor?

Celebrate and recognize 15 years of Global Detroit impact.

Take a stand for smart immigration policy in Michigan. New isolationist policies will hurt entrepreneurial innovation and our economy, from big-to-small business.

Bolster our collective economic prosperity through the intentional inclusion of immigrants in regional economic development strategies, practices, and programs.
