Microsoft moves into Detroit’s hip and high-tech M@dison Block

If you’re visiting the Motor City, there are tons of great landmarks to see – the towering Renaissance Building; Comerica Park, home of the Detroit Tigers; and the recently renovated Riverwalk, to name a few.

If your interest trends more toward tech, there’s one place not-to-be-missed: M@dison Block, a burgeoning tech neighborhood known for its open and collaborative work environment.

And it just so happens M@dison Block recently gained a new neighbor – Microsoft. Technical and business experts from Microsoft Ventures will work in the M@dison Building to engage with the neighborhood’s startup community and develop business partnerships in the region.
