Chris Polk (Detroit) - Comcast Business Engagement event 2017 When it comes to entrepreneurship and new business, Detroit is certainly moving up the charts.
According to the 2012 U.S. Census, the city of Detroit has nearly 62,000 businesses, many of them small businesses. That total included more than 47,000 and 38,000 minority- and women-owned businesses, respectively.
When it comes to minority-owned businesses, Detroit is the fourth-largest city in the country. However, longer-term sustainability and growth continue to be a challenge.
Part of the solution is the participation and collaboration of companies like Comcast who recently announced it will invest $3 million over the next year in its local business and social impact network to build fiber throughout the city, providing a new service with one-gigabit speeds.
