  • Michigan Supplier Conversion Grant Program

    Our office ensures that even the smallest and most vulnerable suppliers can adapt to market change, retain quality jobs and remain part of Michigan’s manufacturing future. This program offers competitive grants to help small and mid-sized auto suppliers pivot toward future growth by retooling their facilities to enter hybrid and electric vehicle supply chains.

    This funding opportunity is currently closed.

  • Public-Private Supply Chain Partnerships

    Michigan is building sector-focused partnerships that bring together large buyers, small- and medium-sized manufacturers and supportive economic development programming to solve real world supply chain challenges and open new markets for Michigan firms. Our initial partnership focuses on the energy sector, helping Michigan’s utilities and prime contractors identify suppliers to support grid modernization and expansion by leveraging DTE and Consumers Energy’s joint annual $3.5 billion commitment to spending for Michigan-based businesses.
