The Department of Energy awarded a $2,600,000 Cooperative Agreement to the Michigan Strategic Fund under the Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chain Demonstrations and Commercial Applications program (CFDA 81.253). The objective of this project, titled "Project DIAMOND (Distributed, Independent, Agile Manufacturing on Demand)", is to support small to medium manufacturers (SMMs) in Michigan in adopting smart manufacturing technologies. The funding will enable the Michigan Strategic Fund, a state government entity, to provide technical assistance, implement smart manufacturing initiatives, and promote the adoption of advanced manufacturing capabilities among SMMs in the state. This federal grant award aims to strengthen domestic manufacturing and energy supply chains needed to modernize the nation's energy infrastructure and support the transition to a decarbonized economy, with a focus on electric vehicle technology, battery materials, and sustainable manufacturing practices.
