If you ask Michael A. Finney if Detroit is going to become a tech hub, he’ll tell you to look around—Detroit already is a tech hub. “Detroit is loaded with technology,” the Michigan Economic Development Corporation CEO said. Finney, appointed by Michigan’s Governor Rick Snyder, talked with us at our recent Techonomy Detroit conference about Detroit’s talent-driven infrastructure, from community and business leaders to universities, companies, and the auto industry. “It’s a question of building on all the great strengths we have right now in the auto sector and extending it into other sectors,” Finney said, calling Detroit “an ideal location for future development.”

Tech's Impact on Business and Society, techonomy.com
Today technology is inextricably entwined with just about every activity that humans undertake. Techonomy embraces that fact, and seeks as a company to help the world take advantage of it. We cast our lens broadly across business and society in order to highlight and explore the manifold ways in which tech’s impact is felt. Techonomy Media hosts conferences and dinners and publishes editorial content, including video journalism. We make our programs accessible to a wide audience because it is impossible to know where leaders will emerge, and because the world increasingly recognizes that, for better or worse, we are all in this together.
