GEW2025 Proclamation from MI Governor

We’re pleased to highlight the recent proclamation by the Gretchen Whitmer, Governor of Michigan, that designates November 17-21, 2025 as Global Entrepreneurship Week in Michigan.

This recognition highlights the important role of entrepreneurs in driving innovation and economic growth from groundbreaking technologies to community-based ventures. It serves as a reminder that when we invest in entrepreneurial talent and ecosystem support, the benefits spread across industries and regions.

As we view our own work and plans through that lens, this week invites us to:

• Celebrate the bold ideas and hard work of entrepreneurs and innovators around us.

• Reflect on how we can support emerging founders through mentorship, resources, networks, or simply by highlighting their stories.

• Continue our commitment to fostering a culture of creativity, resilience, and growth within our ecosystem.

You can view the full text of the proclamation here.

Let’s use this week to learn together, connect creators, and build momentum for what’s next.
