For Businesses

In a global digital economy, it’s never been more important for small and medium-sized businesses to have robust international relationships so they can fulfill their potential, expand their business, and create jobs here at home.

MCEP is interested in helping small- to medium-sized businesses thrive in this new economy by forging these vital relationships. We can help you by:

• Making connections with Chinese businesses already expanding into metro Detroit – especially businesses in need of a specific product or service, but unaware of local talent to help.
• Providing information and guidance on federal programs like EB5, which can bring capital to job-creating projects in Macomb County.
• Matching you with other local businesses already exporting overseas – businesses which can offer you insight and advice.
• Taking you along on one of our economic development trips, giving you firsthand experience and connections with the right people in China and elsewhere.

If your business is interested in exploring the possibilities of exporting, or if you need capital to expand, we can help build the connections and provide the contacts you need to evaluate the possibilities and come to the best decisions for you and your business.

Together, we can make Macomb thrive in this new economy – building relationships abroad, and creating jobs here at home.

For Educators

Building ties with China and the world is a critical part of 21st Century education. The Macomb Cultural and Economic Partnership can help set up sister school partnerships between your institution and a school in China.

The Macomb Cultural and Economic Partnership also takes educators and school administrators on cultural connection trips to China twice a year. If you are interested in setting up a sister school partnership or participating in one of our upcoming cultural connection trips, please contact us.

For Students

The Macomb Cultural and Economic partnership can help place Chinese and American students in cross cultural business internships. For more information, call us.
