Our Mission

The business community launched the Detroit Regional Partnership in 2019 for one reason: To make the Detroit Region one of the most prosperous and inclusive places in the nation by 2030.

As a nonprofit economic development organization, we recruit domestic and international companies by sharing Detroit’s economic story with the world. Everything we do is designed to attract jobs and investment to our 11-county region. Serving as a concierge for business, we are the sole point of contact where companies and site selectors come to find the perfect location for their next project.

In our first four years, we have delivered more than 100 project wins that have created nearly $9 billion in new investment, 33,000 jobs, while adding $2.3 billion in payroll in our region.
