The Annual Collaboration for Entrepreneurship (ACE) promotes the development and commercialization in Michigan of high-growth potential, innovative, and technology business ventures with national and international potential.

ACE '08 was the eighth year for ACE. The event was held on January 17 at Washtenaw Community College's Morris Lawrence Building in Ann Arbor. About 400 individuals from the Michigan entrepreneurial community met for workshops, presentations, to view displays, and to network with peers, support organizations, investors, and service providers - a record attendance for ACE!

Each year's ACE event, along with the year-long activities of its supporting organizations, is helping to make Michigan a better place to start and grow a business.
