Michigan Chamber CEO tells Saginaw business crowd about jobs, education
Things are looking up for the Great Lakes State, and business and government leaders need to keep that momentum going, according to Rich Studley, president and CEO of the Michigan Chamber of Commerce.
With the state and national economies improving, one of the greatest challenges Michigan faces is "the temptation to become complacent," Studley told a crowd of hundreds of businesswomen and men gathered at Apple Mountain on Friday, April 17, for the Saginaw County Chamber of Commerce 152nd Annual Meeting.
Creating jobs and expanding opportunities for all Americans should be everyone's goal, he said.
"There are few social welfare challenges facing our great cities or our state that wouldn't be made better if more people had good jobs," Studley said. Read more: M Live

EMBDC chamber excitement: Algix, 3D Fuel announce joint venture on Earth Day
Wednesday April 22 was Earth Day and to celebrate being "green," local startup company Algix announced a joint venture with 3D Fuel that will bring new manufacturing and jobs to the Meridian and Lauderdale County.
The announcement detailed the installation of two – soon-to-be four – manufacturing lines for the "ink" of 3D printers – a plastic filament (much like a very thick version of a fishing line) that is heated and used to print anything from automotive parts to prosthetic limbs. A major growth industry, the technology is expected to grow to a $16.8 billion market by 2018, according to independent research company Canalys. The predicted growth rate of this market is 45.7 percent year after year.
"At Innovate Mississippi, we work with a lot of early stage companies. Any company that makes it to fruition – in terms of the production of materials – is always exciting. But particularly in an industry like this, where it's in the supply chain for 3D printing – an amazingly fast-expanding industry," said Tony Jeff, CEO of Innovate Mississippi, who was part of a speakers' panel at the announcement event. "It's really exciting so see someone in that area and with a material that's a green that gives more flexibility on how products can be made and used," Jeff said. Asked about how important "made in America" is as a differentiator, Jeff said, "I think it is and more importantly; I think their customers will see that as a differentiator across a wide variety of channels. Price and quality are still going to be critical, but we work a lot on a making it in America program. A program where we work with a lot of companies to try to understand their supply chain. Understand the disruptions that can happen over long distances. Anyone who is really taking a look at that will see having a domestic supplier is an important piece of that equation as well.' Meredith Rea, Chamber of Commerce manager at the East Mississippi Business Development Cooperation (EMBDC), expressed excitement at having a 3D printer filament manufacturer in Meridian.
