Southeast Michigan

Southeast Michigan is perhaps the most well-known region of Michigan. It houses Detroit, Ann Arbor, Pontiac, a very large population, many new industries, international corporations like General Motors and the Ford Motor Company, world-renowned universities like the University of Michigan and Wayne State University, one of the busiest airports in the world in the Detroit Metro Airport, and popular sports teams, including the Detroit Loins, Tigers, Red Wings and Pistons. Besides the big cities, there are several growing cities and communities in this region such as Novi, Monroe, Dearborn, Adrian and Ypsilanti. The list of opportunities, growth, and amazing places in Southeast Michigan is extensive.

Top industries and employment areas include professional and business services, manufacturing, regional trade, government and education and health services. Despite automotive manufacturers' choices to expand their international manufacturing base, many automotive companies are still locating in this area as it has many automotive-related research and development facilities, among other benefits.
