Bank of Ann Arbor helps finance growth of Detroit’s TechTown

by Bank of Ann Arbor October 4, 2010 8:26

Michael Cole, Group President of Bank of Ann Arbor’s Technology Banking Group announced a financing arrangement to provide working capital to support TechTown’s mission of expanding the region’s innovation economy.  The announcement was made at TechTown’s First Friday event on October 1, 2010.

“Detroit’s TechTown is one of the nation’s leading business incubators and an important catalyst for Detroit’s new economy,” said Cole. “Bank of Ann Arbor is dedicated to supporting regional economic development collaboration and high growth, innovation based businesses.  This partnership makes perfect sense for Southeastern Michigan.”

 

"For the last several years, many large banks have been scaling back their commitment to Detroit,” said TechTown Executive Director Randal Charlton. “By taking the opposite approach, the Bank of Ann Arbor will be positioned to get a first-hand view of the wide range of new technology that is being developed at our various research institutions in our city as well as by entrepreneurs at TechTown. The bold leadership that the bank has displayed in supporting entrepreneurs will enable them to provide financial services to the best of our emerging high technology companies, and to grow and prosper along with Detroit over the next decade.”
