Small businesses are vital to Detroit’s recovery -- they are creating jobs, contributing to diverse and vibrant neighborhoods and a thriving urban core, stimulating innovation and powering the regional economy. From the culinary entrepreneurs growing their businesses at the commercial kitchen facility in Eastern Market, to the small contractors who are finding opportunity in construction projects throughout the city, there is hard evidence of how Detroit is providing small businesses with the capital and technical assistance they need to grow, and in turn contribute to the city’s economic recovery.
Join Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan and JPMorgan Chase’s Jamie Dimon for a discussion of the city’s economic revitalization, the challenges facing entrepreneurs and the partnerships that are making a difference. The conversation will be moderated by Jenn Piepszak, CEO of Chase Business Banking, which does business with more than 4 million small business owners across the country.
