Michigan Tech Week (MTW) is the premier convening for tech and high-growth entrepreneurship in our state. This high-growth, founder-first conference includes an opening night kickoff and then two solid days of programming all under one-roof. Led by Michigan Founders Fund and hosted by Michigan Central, Michigan Tech Week is made possible with support from a team of statewide collaborators who are focused on advancing innovation throughout Michigan.
The 2026 theme, Future State, invites attendees to explore where Michigan’s innovation economy is headed and how we collectively build toward it. From emerging technologies and startup growth to talent, capital, and corporate innovation, Michigan Tech Week is designed to spotlight what Michigan does best and what it is becoming.

Networking events, meetups, and community-driven activations throughout the week
Whether you are building a company, investing in innovation, leading inside an organization, or supporting the growth of Michigan’s tech ecosystem, Michigan Tech Week is your place to connect, contribute, and help define the Future State.
