Global Detroit is an effort to revitalize southeast Michigan’s economy by pursuing strategies that strengthen Detroit’s connections to the world and make the region more attractive and welcoming to immigrants, internationals, and foreign trade and investment as a means to produce jobs and regional economic growth. Originally funded by the New Economy Initiative of Southeast Michigan, the Detroit Regional Chamber of Commerce, and the Skillman Foundation, a comprehensive Global Detroit study was released in May 2010 that documented the impacts that immigrants have on the regional economy and identified eleven strategic initiatives to revitalize the regional economy. Based on the study findings, eleven strategic priority initiatives were crafted to capitalize on the economic opportunity that our international population presents. The Global Detroit Initiative is currently implementing a number of the initiatives in southeast Michigan to make the region more welcoming and to capitalize on the economic opportunity that our international population brings. Funded initiatives include an international student retention program, the Welcoming Michigan campaign, ethnic media reporting on entrepreneurship, a nearshoring initiative, and operation funding for Global Detroit.
