This $9.45 million Project Grant from the Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration's Economic Adjustment Assistance program will support 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. Specifically, the grant will support the new Supply Chain Transformation Center, which will provide direct assistance to existing legacy manufacturers to transition to broader mobility product needs. Additionally, funds will go toward 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.
