Mar 18, 2025

Michigan Central made it to Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies list for 2025! As a leading company in the Economic Development category, Ford is proud of all the work the Michigan Central team has done to be recognized for their initiatives that create jobs and opportunities, drive investment and improve the overall economic landscape of Detroit

Bill Ford’s vision for Michigan Central was to create an open platform cultivating a diverse ecosystem of stakeholders that catalyze innovation and economic growth. The Michigan Central team and partners took his vision and made it a reality, establishing a fresh approach to collaboration that we believe will future-proof Michigan’s status as the epicenter of mobility solutions and be a talent magnet for the region. 

Ford also congratulates Newlab at Michigan Central member Just Air, who also made this year’s list. Their work in real-time air quality monitoring is a powerful example of the innovation happening within the Michigan Central ecosystem.
