Speaker: Alan Steinman, Ph.D.

Topic: "Michigan's Blue Economy: Why Water Matters"

Michigan touches 4 of the 5 Great Lakes, which hold 20% of the world’s surface fresh water.  As fresh water quantity and quality become increasingly important for economic growth, quality of life, and global security, Michigan finds itself with a tremendous geographic advantage compared to the rest of the world.  This presentation will provide a historical perspective of the water’s role in Michigan’s development, and assess future opportunities for economic development around water.
