Michigan Economic Development Corporation issued the following announcement on June 26.
Research, technology and talent are the heart of Michigan's Arsenal of Innovation, a collection of companies and organizations across the academic, manufacturing and tech sectors driving Michigan's response and recovery amid COVID-19.
When the novel coronavirus outbreak began in Michigan in March, businesses of all sizes and all industries began working around the clock to support the state’s response efforts, from retooling production lines to manufacture Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to pivoting technologies to support testing efforts. But Michigan’s ‘Arsenal of Innovation’ extends beyond the manufacturing floor or testing labs, as the state is home to the highest concentration of engineering talent in the nation and ranks in the top 10 nationally for the number of STEM graduates. As a result, the state’s education network – from universities and community colleges to K12 school districts and after-school clubs – have answered the call in recent weeks to protect and support Michigan’s frontline public health workers.
