Urban Entrepreneurship Symposium 2015 Session Moderator: Malinda Jensen, VP Business Development, Detroit Economic Growth Corporation (DEGC) Session Panelists: Heath Carr, COO, Bedrock Manufacturing (Shinola) Paul M. Hickman, Owner, Urban Ashes Calvin Evans, HR/Operations Manager, Urban Ashes Don Reimer, Director - Entrepreneurship Programs, Lawrence Technological University Jim Robinson, Founder, Metro EZ Ride Business Leaders will discuss prospects and business models for employing significant numbers of low-to-medium skill level urban workers. For example, the "gig economy" is often cited as a collection of business models (Uber, for example) for employing large numbers of people. Also, some companies are "on-shoring" manufacturing jobs. What are the prospects for this and what types of manufacturing businesses are most amenable to the practice? The Urban Entrepreneurship 2015 Symposium will provide concrete information, resources and connections that will enable actual and aspiring entrepreneurs to create scalable, profit-making businesses that address important urban community needs. Attendees will include entrepreneurs, students, community leaders and more. The event will both inform and inspire and will yield a set of findings that will guide further development of an urban entrepreneurship ecosysytem. http://urbanei.org
