This $7.38 million Project Grant from the Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration supports the Global Epicenter of Mobility coalition led by the Detroit Regional Partnership Foundation. The funding will catalyze the mobility sector in Michigan by transforming the Detroit area's legacy automotive industry into a highly competitive advanced mobility cluster. Specific projects include a new Supply Chain Transformation Center that will provide direct assistance to existing manufacturers transitioning to broader mobility products. Additionally, funding will support the Mobility Accelerator Innovation Network to identify and support startups in the mobility space. Once implemented, the investment is expected to develop and strengthen regional industry clusters while embracing economic equity, creating good-paying jobs, and enhancing U.S. competitiveness globally. The award is provided under the EDA's Economic Adjustment Assistance program, which offers planning and infrastructure assistance to regions experiencing adverse economic changes.
