“To invest in innovation is really to invest in people…We have some 200 employees in Michigan working out of our offices in Southfield, in the shadow of Lawrence Tech, and we remain very committed to helping drive local economic growth, business competitiveness, individual opportunity, and innovation…I’m very optimistic about the technological leadership, culture of innovation, entrepreneurship, and the strong public/independent partnership that is going to allow Michigan to grow stronger, its citizens more prosperous, and to have Detroit continue to grow not only as an innovative place for many, many industries but as an economic engine throughout the world.”
