About Midland
A city in the state of Michigan in the Tri-Cities region, Midland has been named the 4th "Best Small City to Raise a Family" by Forbes magazine. Once a fur trading post of the American Fur Company in the late 1820s, Midland was founded in 1897 when the Dow Chemical Company showed up in the town. There are about 41,863 people meandering the streets of Midland where you can find a plethora of educational institutions from public schools to state universities. A city where you can still take a peek at its heritage, there are over 3,000 acres of parkland to frolic in. A town for those into walking, jogging, skating and biking, Midland has a system of natural pathways to explore that will take you through woods, over rivers, through wetlands and upland fields. The city has been nicknamed the "City of Beautiful Churches", as there are over 100 places of worship representing a variety of denominations so there is bound to be one that you can say a little prayer in. Coworking venues have opened up in the town to cater to its locals who have no wish to leave their home-turf of kiddie friendly fun.
Midland may not be a tech hub per se, but Michigan the state has plenty of resources and talent floating around creating an emerging ecosystem. Over the last 5 years Michigan has received 250% more startup investment (think $1.4 billion) than it did in the 5 years prior to that. There is a strong information security talent pool due to the University of Michigan and Arbor Networks that has helped nurture the region's ecosystem creating a flow-on affect from one successful venture to another. Incubators such as Ann Arbor SPARK and Cahoots, to name a few, are supporting this growing entrepreneur happening vibe.
Coworking venues are adding to the dynamic ecosystem by providing the space for collaboration, connection and the sharing of ideas.
