Silicon Valley. Seattle. Grand Rapids?

A recent headline from the San Francisco Business Times said, “California’s Innovation Model… Michigan?” 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.

Creating an Innovation Cluster

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 us fresher, faster and more competitive with the famed communities of innovation like Silicon Valley, Seattle and Austin.

Warning: Pride in your community may swell to unprecedented levels during this event.

• Eric Kuhn (@ekuhn), Social Media Lead, TEDx Grand Rapids
