At the Michigan Institute for Growth & Opportunity (MI4GO), The Tank is our powerful Center for Research and Policy. We gather and analyze nation-leading data to understand the challenges and opportunities facing Michigan.

We don't just collect data; we use it to push the boundaries of policy, tackle impediments to healthy growth, and build long-term shared prosperity.

Our Core Focus

• Nation-Leading Research: We track economic, migration, and population growth trends and strategies.
• Policy Innovation: We push the boundaries of policy to address the state's biggest challenges.
• Actionable Insights: Our work serves as the foundational research and policy support that allows MI4GO to remain an agile, effective champion for Michigan’s future.
