By the time I attended my first major ecosystem event in Detroitโafter living in the city for about a monthโit was late winter edging into early spring.
Detroit is a useful contradiction because it was not a peripheral city trying to become relevant. It was relevantโtechnologically, industrially, and culturallyโat a scale that reshaped the global imagination of production.
I was casually scrolling on Twitter [now X], and I came across a tweet, expressing shock at the fact that there are no Apple Stores on the African continent.
