abstract:The Detroit Economic Club, headquartered at 211 West Fort Street in downtown Detroit, Michigan, was formed in 1934 as a platform for the discussion and debate of important business, government and social issues. It is known internationally as a top speaking forum for prominent business, academic, and government officials, who address members and their guests at the Club's 35 meetings a season.
Techonomy Detroit, hosted by our close partners at the DetroitEconomicClub, aims to shine a light on how technology can transform U.S. competitiveness, create jobs, grow our economy, and revitalize our cities.
At a recent speech to the DetroitEconomicClub in Michigan, Schultz outlined some of his plans to expand what each of his coffee houses could offer, including in-store music downloads, DVDs of the company's recently released film project Akeelah and the Bee, and books.
