Emerging technologies\u2014like drones, electrification platforms, robotics, and micromobility\u2014are fast-changing industries. New trends emerge. Regulations shift. Markets expand and contract.<\/p>\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"2310\">The new generation of mobility and industrial technology requires something different. It demands speed and flexibility over sheer volume. It requires the ability to iterate quickly and produce in smaller quantities. It needs agile manufacturing to succeed.<\/p>\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"2572\">Together with Newlab, we give startups the tools they need to move ideas from prototype to production under one roof. Michigan Central companies have access to infrastructure, network and space to scale like:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ak-ul\" data-indent-level=\"1\">\n<li>\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"2784\">18,000 square feet of advanced prototyping and fabrication facilities with 3D printers, CNC machines, welding bays, and flexible assembly space in Newlab at Michigan Central<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"2961\">4-square mile Transportation Innovation Zone which offers streamlined permitting for test deployments such as connected and autonomous vehicles, delivery robots, and more<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"3135\">3-mile Advanced Aerial Innovation Region which supports the deployment of drone technology in an urban environment<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"3253\">Nearly 30 venture capital firms co-located at Michigan Central, providing startups with access to funding, allowing them to test their technology and bring it to market<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"3427\">And, in addition to 8 acres of Michigan Central\u2019s nearby industrial-zoned real estate that can potentially be activated for manufacturing, Newlab recently <a class=\"_mizu194a _1ah31bk5 _ra3xnqa1 _128m1bk5 _1cvmnqa1 _4davt94y _4bfu18uv _1hms8stv _ajmmnqa1 _vchhusvi _syaz14q2 _ect41gqc _1a3b18uv _4fpr8stv _5goinqa1 _f8pj14q2 _9oik18uv _1bnxglyw _jf4cnqa1 _30l314q2 _1nrm18uv _c2waglyw _1iohnqa1 _9h8h16c2 _1053w7te _1ienw7te _n0fxw7te _1vhvg3x0\" title=\"https:\/\/www.newlab.com\/post\/the-23rd-detroit-manufacturing-campus-launch\" href=\"https:\/\/www.newlab.com\/post\/the-23rd-detroit-manufacturing-campus-launch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-renderer-mark=\"true\" data-is-router-link=\"false\" data-testid=\"link-with-safety\"><strong data-renderer-mark=\"true\"><u data-renderer-mark=\"true\">announced the launch of &#8220;The 23rd,&#8221;<\/u><\/strong><\/a> a 380,000-square-foot manufacturing campus just west of the Michigan Central district in which they will have a dedicated space.<\/p>\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"3427\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-22589\" src=\"https:\/\/michigancentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/7e11fe3e-c425-46b5-85d6-286e0f4f9a93-600x336.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"336\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"3755\">This environment gives innovators the ability to move from concept to commercialization without leaving Detroit. To date, 40% of our startups have relocated to Michigan Central from outside Michigan, with more than 10% coming internationally.<\/p>\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"4002\">Startups like Lincode Labs, Peer Robotics and Sharrow Marine chose to move to or open locations in Detroit and set up shop here because Michigan Central and Newlab make it possible to design, iterate, and scale within a supportive environment.<\/p>\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"4250\">Others have stayed or expanded production from here. Detroit-based company Boaz Bikes has more control over manufacturing quality in a city that truly understands the complexities of urban transportation &#8211; resulting in faster turnarounds and the agility to integrate improvements on the fly.<\/p>\n<h2 data-renderer-start-pos=\"4544\"><strong data-renderer-mark=\"true\">Detroit Is Where It\u2019s At<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"4570\">photo credit: Jason Keen<\/p>\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"4570\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-22583\" src=\"https:\/\/michigancentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/4b382186-904c-48ed-9251-7b5651c32db1-600x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"4601\">The city has the key ingredients for America&#8217;s industrial renaissance: legacy industrial know-how, pro-innovation and pro-manufacturing policies, optimal real estate zoning and costs, and an ongoing city revitalization to reassert Detroit as the driver of innovation, culture and economic prosperity that are core to the city\u2019s long-standing identity as a leader of invention and industrialism.<\/p>\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"4999\">Detroit is already evolving into a national mecca for innovation. In the past few years alone, the region has welcomed hundreds of new technology and manufacturing operations, drawn by Detroit\u2019s unique combination of affordable industrial space, pro-business policies, and deep manufacturing expertise. From advanced battery production and electric vehicles to micromobility, drones, and robotics, Detroit has become a proving ground for next-generation solutions. Major investments from both public and private sectors have accelerated this transformation, fueling new research centers, production facilities, and partnerships with universities. This surge of activity isn\u2019t hypothetical\u2014it\u2019s happening now, and it\u2019s positioning Detroit as the place where ambitious founders and industry leaders come to build what\u2019s next.<\/p>\n<h2 data-renderer-start-pos=\"5826\"><strong data-renderer-mark=\"true\">Joining Us in Building What Comes Next<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"5866\">The next era of American manufacturing is taking shape right here and we invite you to be a part of it.
