Stories from the new economy: ACCESS Growth Center

Immigrants face many challenges when making a home in a new country. There are cultural and language barriers to overcome, as well as the loss of support networks that may have aided them in their homeland. The ACCESS Growth Center, however, is there to assist immigrant entrepreneurs in making Metro Detroit more than a place of residence—but rather a place they can call home.

ACCESS Growth Center recognizes the contributions that new immigrants make to the cultural and economic vibrancy of our region and connects them with resources to utilize their talents and become entrepreneurs. These resources, which include access to capital, strategic planning, networking, and marketing, are tailored to the individual needs of immigrant entrepreneurs.
