The Michigan Translational Research and Commercialization (MTRAC) Innovation Hub for Advanced Transportation is a statewide program that funds translational research applications in advanced transportation materials, robotics and autonomy, sensors, electric vehicle drivetrain/propulsion, software/controls/data, and advanced
manufacturing processes. The mission of this program is to advance transportation technologies that address future or poorly met market needs.
Since 2014, U-M has housed the MTRAC Advanced Transportation program and accelerated the commercial development of mobility projects. The program expanded to a statewide innovation hub in 2016 and joins a series of specialized statewide commercialization programs with in-depth domain expertise in specific areas of research. The program reinforces State of Michigan’s Michigan Strategic Fund (MSF), the MEDC and U-M’s commitment to using entrepreneurship as a catalyst for economic growth in the State and beyond. The program is open to all institutions of higher education, hospital systems, and non-profit research centers in the State of Michigan.
This hub is run jointly by the U-M Center for Entrepreneurship and the U-M Office of Tech Transfer, in partnership with Michigan Economic Development Corporation.
