Press Release Summary = Multicultural Business Council, Wayne State University, and
TechTown have joined to present the Technology and Emerging Sectors Career Fair in
Detroit on March 21.

Press Release Body = The Multicultural Business Council, a cultural empowerment
organization created to connect people of diverse cultures through commerce, will
host the Technology & Emerging Sectors Career Fair on March 21, from 10 a.m. to 3
p.m. The career fair, co-sponsored by TechTown and Wayne State University, will be
held in the NextEnergy Center, located at 461 Burroughs Street in the TechTown
district of Detroit.

"Today Michigan is working hard to attract new industries to the state in order to
reduce our dependence on the automotive industry," says Rick Weaver, COO of the
Multicultural Business Council. "TechTown epitomizes the new Michigan-a culture of
diversified business."

Michigan\'s Department of Economic Development has identified specific high-growth
industries to reshape the state\'s economy and diversify beyond its traditional
automotive base. These industries include alternative energy, advanced
manufacturing, homeland security and life sciences. Michigan has set aside more than
$2 billion to attract employers and retrain workers for these fields.

The Technology and Emerging Sectors Career Fair is specifically timed to assist
these growing industries in recruiting students who will graduate from Wayne State
University and other institutions in the spring of 2007. Employers will also be
targeting workers transitioning from the downsizing automotive industry. In addition
to several TechTown tenant companies, the Central Intelligence Agency and the U.S.
Army have registered to recruit employees at the career fair.

"One of TechTown\'s most important goals is to halt Michigan\'s brain drain and foster
employment opportunities for the thousands of university students graduating with
degrees in math, engineering and the sciences," says Howard Bell, executive director
of TechTown. "We are delighted to help bring our state\'s best and brightest minds
together with the business ventures that are transforming our economy."

Ample free parking will be available. Companies interested in reserving a booth to
recruit employees, as well as potential employees, can contact MBC at 248.802.6138
