Opportunities in Michigan’s Growing Outdoor Recreation Industry

A JEC World 2024 Composites Exchange by the Michigan Economic Development Coporation

From inventing the modern snowboard and synthetic fly line, to designing iconic vehicles, participants will learn why Michigan is the place to design, develop, and deliver the tools and gear to enjoy outdoors. The outdoor industry continually evolves and addresses new challenges, including sustainability, diversity and inclusion, and Michigan is the place where the outdoors opportunities thrive. More than 8,000 of Michigan’s Outdoor Recreation jobs are in outdoor recreation-related manufacturing, such as boating, RV and gear manufacturing.
