Detroit Region: Talent and Investment Guide

The Detroit Regional Partnership (DRP) is pleased to introduce the inaugural edition of the Detroit Region: Talent and Investment Guide. This guide serves as a proof point, showcasing positive data, success stories, and insights that highlight why Detroit is a powerhouse of growth, resilience, and opportunity. 

By 2030, the Detroit Regional Partnership (DRP) envisions the region as a nationally recognized hub for economic growth and collaboration. This guide is one tool in making that vision a reality—helping community ambassadors, companies, and talent see Detroit not just for where it’s been, but for where it’s going.

The guide profiles testimonials from recent expansion projects and key stats highlighting our region’s industry clusters, workforce, infrastructure, and quality of life. Whether you’re an economic development professional, business leader, workforce specialist, or community ambassador, this guide is designed to be a resource to help you promote the community we all love.
