There are many reasons Michigan is recognized as the global automotive capital. Look around. You’ll find the greatest concentration of automotive research centers and engineers (electrical, mechanical and industrial) than anywhere in the nation.
The Great Lakes state is home to 27 assembly plants, and 63 of the top 100 North American auto suppliers. And, the state boasts one of the most experienced and plentiful auto workforce. Indeed, Michigan is the number one state in new automotive-related jobs since 2009.
As Michigan furthers its position as a leader in the next chapter in the history of automotive transportation, many objective sources are noticing that Michigan is the preeminent place for any company, entrepreneur or individual looking to be a part of the mobility revolution.
