The Michigan Advantage
Key Industries
The global marketplace is creating revolutionary opportunities for business development. To meet these opportunities, Michigan recognizes and endorses key industries that will continue to expand and profit for future generations. The $2-billion 21st Century Jobs Fund is focusing on investments in:
- Alternative energy
- Life science
- Homeland security and defense
- Advanced manufacturing
- Automotive Engineering
Cutting-edge research and development in these areas is delivering tangible products and services. Michigan already has 20 biofuel and biodiesel plants in operation or development, with a commitment from Mascoma Corporation to develop a cellulosic ethanol production plant.
Continued leadership in automotive engineering and advanced manufacturing innovation is at the forefront as well. In Michigan, some 65,000 professionals at over 330 automotive R&D and technical centers are driving success in this area.
The result of this effort: a diverse and strong Michigan economy at work making the world a cleaner and safer place to live.
