Google is adopting a number of tech hubs across North America, and the locations may surprise you, writes Kurt Wagner in Mashable.com.
Like Detroit.
As part of the company's two-year-old Google for Entrepreneurs effort to empower startups and their founders worldwide, Google announced a new Tech Hub Network on Wednesday in an effort to connect entrepreneurs across the continent.
In Detroit, Google chose Grand Circus, a new IT training business that opened last week in the Broderick Tower.
“Detroit has quickly become the destination for emerging technology companies looking to grow their business and at the same time make a positive impact on the community,” said Dan Gilbert, Founder and Chairman of Rock Ventures. “Yesterday’s announcement by Google is the latest piece of exciting news about the explosive high-tech corridor taking shape downtown. Google’s investment is another example of a high-profile technology company seizing on the opportunities in Detroit.”
