The Center for Community Based Enterprise (C2BE) has a diverse group of talented advisors who seek to support and
create locally rooted businesses. That includes helping auto suppliers
who are committed to remaining in southeast Michigan to diversify their
products.
Several of the C2BE advisors are forming a new
company, Ingenuity US (IUS), that has access to a variety of sources of
intellectual property in Michigan and Hawaii, an intellectual property
licensing professional, a person experienced in product development,
and expertise in employee ownership and divergent thinking processes.
IUS
seeks opportunities to provide hands-on, entrepreneurial assistance to
local manufacturing businesses that are interested in diversifying
their products and remaining in southeast Michigan.
