GRAND RAPIDS – Join aimWest on April 20 to find out how West Michigan is becoming a hub for the one thing the future of businesses and communities depend on – innovation.

Panelists from local collaborations TEDx Grand Rapids, New North and SiteLab will discuss innovation as more than just access to talent, capital and creativity, but as a catalyst for momentum, diversity and national leadership.

McKinsey recently categorized Grand Rapids as a ?Silent Lake,? when it comes to innovation ? an older, slower-growing hub with a narrow range of large, established companies. Join aimWest to find out what local collaborations are doing to change that, making Grand Rapids fresher, faster and more competitive.

Moderated By
