?What we are doing is trying to create jobs in Michigan,? she said. ?We?re trying to inspire entrepreneurs to set up shop here and rebuild the state economy. We have to rebuild this state from its foundation. It will involve a lot of knowledge sharing, focused expertise, networking with like minded people ? and that?s why the theme this year is Business Karma 3.0 – Create, Connect and Collaborate.?
One-hour educational tracks will focus on a variety of topics, including Global Transactions.
The global economic slowdown has forced business leaders to re-examine the Mergers & Acquisitions aspect of corporate strategy in areas relative to finance, resources and revenue growth. As the recovery starts, global and cross-border transactions will play an important role as corporations will increasingly look beyond the traditional markets to achieve growth. Michigan has a unique position in this process with its historical manufacturing base, a strong pool of talent and rising emphasis on emerging sectors. These present significant but challenging opportunities.
With escalating consumer demand and phenomenal economic growth in some countries and increasing foreign direct investment, the objective of this session is to catch a perspective of where we were in 2009, where we are today and what are the potential opportunities lurking in the near future with regard to cross-border transactions.
A team of experts from various disciplines including Legal, Private Equity, Investment Banking, Technology and Foreign Liaison will provide thoughtful and relevant information in each of these content vertical sessions followed by specific questions from the audience.
