Michigan Entrepreneurship Score Card

This is the 17th Entrepreneurship Score Card Report, but it is unique in its focus and scope, which reflects the challenges of assessing the condition of the entrepreneurial economy in such a dynamic and unpredictable environment. This report also seeks to identify what helped and what hindered our economic rehabilitation in addition to what our prospects are for a full and robust recovery.

The Michigan Entrepreneurship Score Card seeks to document how well Michigan’s entrepreneurial economy has been performing within Michigan’s broader regional and national economic context. After a particularly good run mid-decade these latest full year comparisons (for 2019) point to late decade disappointing performance, raising the stakes for Michigan to do better in 2021-22 post-COVID.
