Let's get innovative: Join us Wednesday to launch UIX

UIX is all about YOU, urban innovators. You have ideas, and more importantly, you make them happen. Whether you’re leading a project in your neighborhood, running a small local business, or empowering others to start something -- thank you. You’re moving our city forward in exciting new ways.

We want to hear your story. We want to connect you with people and resources. We want to share ideas and solutions so we can all learn from each other.

Please join us Wednesday, March 28, 4 to 7 p.m. at Seva Restaurant in Midtown’s Sugar Hill Arts District to launch the Urban Innovation Exchange (UIX), a new initiative to advance Detroit’s growing social innovation movement.
