    Global Ties Detroit and Global Ties Kalamazoo Featured on The Michigan Opportunity Podcast
    November 04, 2021

    Through dynamic discussion, The Michigan Opportunity - hosted by the Michigan Economic Development Corporation - markets the state and promotes Michigan as a world-class business location. The podcast serves as a forward-thinking voice for Michigan as a conduit to global trends and applications in the new global economy.

    In the latest episode, Global Ties Detroit President Marian Reich and Global Ties Kalamazoo Executive Director Jodi Michaels discuss how international exchange programs give Michigan citizens the opportunity to network, learn, and explore other countries and cultures through person-to-person interaction right from their own homes and workplaces: "Exchanges are for everybody. It doesn't matter what field you are in, it doesn't matter what you do, you will find value in talking to somebody from somewhere else. This is for you, wherever and whoever," says Jodi Michaels.

    From fellowships to professional exchanges, Global Ties Detroit and Global Ties Kalamazoo are connecting hundreds of Michigan businesses and organizations with rising leaders from around the world: "What we do in a nutshell is share Michigan with the world," explains Marian Reich.
