WIRED Innovation: Emerging Sectors Skill Analysis

Innovation Champion: George Erickcek

WIRED West Michigan’s Emerging Sectors Skill Analysis Innovation was designed to identify the emerging and growth sectors in the West Michigan economy capable of boosting the region’s global competitiveness.  
 
After extensive research and analysis, the report concludes that West Michigan would be better off trying to help its core manufacturing base “reinvent and diversify”, versus chasing the other “usual suspects” – e.g., life sciences, software, film industry.
