Industry Growth and Diversification

Our industry-facing work aims to bridge the gap between Michigan's economic future and our industrial legacy and heritage. Our programming provides tools to help small- and medium-sized manufacturers adapt to economic change and attract new investment from companies seeking dependable supply chains built for what’s coming next.

  • 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.

  • 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.
