ANN ARBOR – On MITech TV today at 2 pm,  we cover Michigan NORML’s legislative priorities, Merger and Acquisition activity, National STEM Day, and what’s happening with West Michigan’s economy.

Show starts with Rick Thompson, the new executive director of Michigan NORML, talks about the legislative priorities for his organization.

Then Thomas Vaughn, co-leader of Dykema’s Mergers & Acquisitions practice, highlights the results of a survey that shows 75 percent of respondents expect the M&A market to strengthen over the next 12 months, the highest level of optimism recorded in the 17-year history of the survey.

Followed by Sibrina Collins from Lawrence Technological University highlights National STEM Day at middle schools in Southfield and Detroit, where students built circuits with LED lights.

We conclude with Brian Long at Grand Valley State University provides more details on his recent report that shows supply-chain shortages have largely left West Michigan’s economy flat, but slightly better than the previous survey.
