About The Series
Cinnaire joins Michigan Business Network to present the results for the Q4 2025 Michigan Future Business Index survey.
Since 2012, The Michigan Economic Forecast Series has been an annual occurrence for Michigan Business Network. Industry experts from across the state give a year in review and a look ahead on the region’s economic, business, tourism, and international business.
One highlight of the series is the results of the Michigan Future Business Index Survey. The survey is underwritten by Cinnaire. Beginning in 2006, Michigan Business Network and since 2011, Paul King, owner of ROI Insights, have been surveying business leaders. Thanks to the participation of these business leaders we are able to amplify their voices and provide data for the business advocacy organizations and policy makers to help Michigan businesses prosper.
