"Detroit Urban Solutions is a program of TechTown Detroit that's led with great partners, that was launched about 18 months ago, and we really view this as a public-facing consortium that brings together a wide variety of organizations," Riser says. "From public, private, academic, non-profit, and even the innovations sectors in greater Detroit and it's really about collaborating to work on tough challenges that are in our city with community-level solutions. So, we work across mobility, buildings, energy, agriculture to identify common problems and to deliver and create new solutions and then to implement those solutions together."
