LinkedIn [Silicon Valley], Alpine Electronics [California], Truck-Lite [New York], and Emabond Solutions [New Jersey], have all chosen to relocate their headquarter operations to the Detroit Region. These companies are taking advantage of the region’s low business costs and nationally recognized educational institutions, which provide exceptional talent and global connectivity. In addition, the Detroit Region has emerged as an ideal location for middle and back-office companies, such as Concentrix, DialogDirect, and Rock Connections, who increasingly help grow the bottom lines of regional businesses. The Detroit Region is well suited to help the world’s leading professional services companies position themselves for growth and a sustainable future.

LinkedIn Chooses Detroit for First New United States Office in 10 Years
LinkedIn, the Silicon Valley-based social media company, has selected the city of Detroit for its first new U.S. office in 10 years. The company has 74,500 square feet of space on Woodward Avenue. It will grow from its current 40 people to up to 150 in the next year, possibly expanding more in the future. The tech company was founded in 2003 and was bought by Microsoft for more than $26 billion in 2016.
“Why Detroit? After evaluating more than 10 U.S. cities, we chose Detroit because we believe the Motor City presents a unique opportunity for LinkedIn to hire top talent and be a part of an exciting economic turnaround story.”
-Mike Gamson, SVP, LinkedIn
