To name a few from the top of my head: 1. Strategic location along the straits and along an international border. 2. Most (almost all) of the needed infrastructure is already in place. 3. Many reputable universities in the area, including two Big 10 schools. 4. An educated workforce (well, those who have stayed in-state). 5. Top-notch medical and robotics industry and innovators in the area. 6. Scenic travel destinations directly to the north (and west on Lake MI). 7. Situated smack-dab in the middle of the industrial shipping corridor between Chicago and Toronto 8. Excellent international shipping facilities and international port of entries (DTW, etc.)
