Cathy Lewis Long, founding executive director of The Sprout Fund in Pittsburgh, met with us at our Techonomy Detroit conference to talk about the Steel City and how it compares with the Motor City. Both places, she said, have a “spirit and legacy of innovation” and a special way of sneaking up on people. “[Detroit’s| so exciting and it’s that same ‘ah-ha!’ moment that people get when they come to Pittsburgh,” she said. Both cities, too, are heavily focused on reimagining their futures. “Detroit is at a palpable moment now to propel forward,” Lewis Long said.
