FEBRUARY 3, 2010: TechTown has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Odette School of Business at the University of Windsor in Ontario, Canada to promote cross-border business among startups in Ontario and Southeast Michigan. As part of the agreement, TechTown and the University of Windsor will exchange emerging companies looking to explore international markets and student interns seeking international business experience.
