Invest Detroit’s 2021 activity and impact told through the numbers and the stories of the projects and businesses we supported. Thank you to our funders, partners, volunteers, and staff who make this work possible—and especially our many clients, businesses, and companies who are bringing resources and opportunities to residents across Detroit and the region.
In 2020, Invest Detroit celebrated 25 years of commitment to sparking economic growth in Detroit. It has been a journey of relationship-building, learning, refining, and expanding our team, our work, and our impact. From Downtown and the surrounding area to 10 neighborhoods across the city, the key to these 25 years has been partnership—working with other investors, developers, small business owners, and entrepreneurs from all backgrounds; our philanthropic and corporate community; and government agencies.
