corporate behemoths

MatchRX is one of those start-ups that proves new technologies shouldn't just be aimed at big corporate behemoths looking for both sales and acquisitions.

The Troy-based firm has created a Web marketplace for pharmacists to sell and buy overstocked medications.

Think of it as an eBay for independent pharmacists. The company now operates in 28 states and has 600 members across the U.S.

It plans to go international in 2011 and expand to 1,500-2,000 customers.

The car batteries of the future will be made where the automobile was first perfected, right here in Metro Detroit.

State officials have approved tax incentives that will allow General Motors and Ford to develop and build lithium-ion batteries here in Metro Detroit.

The two corporate behemoths will invest tens of millions of dollars and create hundreds of jobs thanks to $61.8 million in tax incentives.
