Michigan Business Beat | Pauk Krutko, Ann Arbor SPARK, Tech Homecoming Reminder and Helping StartUps

Originally uploaded Nov. 13th. Chris Holman welcomes back Paul Krutko, President & CEO, Ann Arbor SPARK, Ann Arbor, MI. Paul, welcome back, we just spoke with you last week about Ann Arbor SPARK highlighting recent events, and looking ahead to Thanksgiving's Tech Homecoming - can you give one more quick reminder on what that is? We left off on our conversation, and you seemed to have a lot on your mind about projects Ann Arbor SPARK is involved with,... 1. Can you highlight some successful startups that have benefitted from investment through Ann Arbor SPARK, and what impact has this had on the local economy? 2. How does Ann Arbor SPARK evaluate and support potential startup candidates for investment? Are there specific industries or technologies that you’re focusing on for the future? 3. The American Center for Mobility has been at the forefront of testing and research for connected and autonomous vehicles. With the growing interest in hydrogen fuel, could you discuss any new initiatives or partnerships the Center is engaging in to advance hydrogen infrastructure and technology? » Visit MBN website: www.michiganbusinessnetwork.com/ » Subscribe to MBN’s YouTube: www.youtube.com/channel/UCqNX… » Like MBN: www.facebook.com/mibiznetwork » Follow MBN: twitter.com/MIBizNetwork/ » MBN Instagram: www.instagram.com/mibiznetwork/
