FAQ
Accelerator FAQ's
-
Does my company have to be in Michigan?The short answer, yes. The longer answer, the i4.0 Accelerator is chartered by the state of Michigan to accelerate the adoption of i4.0 tech into Michigan manufacturers. As a tech company the best way to impact the market here is to actually be here for intros, demos, meetings, and events. As a manufacturing company, the MEDC pays for services for Michigan companies. If you are outside of Michigan you can still become a manufacturing partner, but for a fee.
