Ann Arbor, Michigan – Cybernet Systems Corporation of Ann Arbor, Michigan has been recognized as one of the “Michigan 50 Companies to Watch,” an awards program sponsored by the Edward Lowe Foundation.

Cybernet Systems CEO Heidi N. Jacobus will receive the award at the third annual Michigan Celebrates Small Business event, April 12th at the Kellogg Hotel & Conference Center in East Lansing.

“Michigan 50 Companies to Watch is a unique awards program designed to shine the spotlight on second-stage companies,” says Mark Lange, executive director of the Edward Lowe Foundation, a not-for-profit operating foundation based in Michigan.  The foundation’s mission is to “champion the entrepreneurial spirit” by encouraging entrepreneurial cultures in communities throughout the country and helping second-stage companies learn from each other.

“When it comes to a robust economy, second-stage entrepreneurs play a critical role because they generate new jobs and sustainable growth,” Lange says.  “And yet, they’re not often recognized or appreciated for the impact they have on the economy or the community.”
