Michigan Business Success Stories

Orbion Space Technology

From Houghton, Michigan, to the moon, Orbion Space Technology reaches new heights in the tech and aerospace industries.

Fifth Eye

On its journey to create a revolutionary and life-saving technology, Ann Arbor-based startup Fifth Eye found access to the support and ecosystem it needed thanks to the MEDC.

FarmWise

The future of agriculture and technology are merging in Michigan thanks to partnerships between Silicon Valley’s FarmWise and Michigan-based Roush.

Accurate Carbide

As a third-generation Saginaw company, Accurate Carbide Tool Co. has solidified its reputation as a premier contract manufacturer of high quality precision machined tooling and components.

KLA

When KLA began looking for locations to build its new research and development center in 2018, it was not short on options. Over 350 North American locations were in the running, creating widespread competition and a sea of viable candidates. But in the end, only one stood out as the best place for this Silicon Valley-based corporation to invest. Michigan.

Nexient

For decades, Silicon Valley has been synonymous with innovation and high-tech talent. But in recent years, its reputation has also been associated with less enviable qualities. Astronomical housing costs, snarled traffic and high taxes are making it harder to attract, retain and afford great technical talent in the Bay Area. Many tech companies are considering alternatives. For Silicon Valley custom software development firm Nexient, Michigan has been a great one.
