ACG in Michigan welcomes an impressive lineup of policy and economic experts, government leaders and legislators on Wednesday, March 29, 2017, for informative conversations and discussions on Michigan’s middle market.

Keynote Speaker Lt. Governor Brian Calley

Recent data clearly shows that middle market remains a vital segment of the U.S. economy and primary driver of job growth and sales nationwide. Michigan itself has over 4,800 middle-market firms, representing 1.7 million jobs and 200 billion in sales.1

Of that, GrowthEconomy.org data shows that PE-backed middle-market companies grew jobs 86.9 percent and sales a whopping 118.4 percent, compared to 7.1 percent and 14.3 percent for all business, respectively.
