Our President and CEO KC Crain shared the Crain Communications story in a candid conversation with members of The Stevens Center for Family Business community at Saginaw Valley State University. He reflected on the lessons and experiences that have shaped our legacy as a trusted source of information for three generations of business leaders, and explained how we’ll continue to serve our community into the future. We’re proud to be part of conversations that celebrate the leadership and legacy of family enterprises across Michigan. Thank you to Dan Handley and the entire Stevens Center team for hosting such a thoughtful and inspiring event. #Leadership #FamilyBusiness #MichiganBusiness #CrainCommunications

When Automotive News turned 100, it marked more than a milestone. It celebrated a century of covering an industry that drives the world forward. From the Model T to electrification and autonomy, we’ve chronicled the leaders, innovations and defining moments that shaped transportation and mobility. Now, we’ve captured that history in a new book, filled with iconic front pages, essays and stories that bring the past to life while looking ahead to the future. The Automotive News 100th Anniversary Book is a labor of love from our newsroom, our partners and my family. I couldn’t be prouder of what our team has built, or more excited for what’s next. https://lnkd.in/eFiZ8H3x

Detroit has a vibrant startup community, but there are areas for improvement, including the need to move faster, secure bigger exits, and for the corporate community to support founders even more. Those were some of the takeaways from this morning’s excellent Crain's Detroit Business Power Breakfast, “Unlocking Innovation: Inside Detroit’s Tech Hubs and Incubators.” It was a beautiful morning on the 16th floor of One Campus Martius - Detroit, with a spectacular sunrise to start the day. Special thanks to our wonderful speakers Mark de la Vergne of Michigan Central, Patti Glaza of ID Ventures, Niles Heron of TechTown Detroit, Kevin Mull of Bedrock Detroit and Scott Shireman of University of Michigan Center for Innovation in Detroit. The conversation was moderated by Crain's excellent tech reporter, Anna Fifelski. #innovation #detroit #business #crainevents
