Governor Gretchen Whitmer has officially opened applications for PitchMI, a statewide pitch competition offering $100,000 for an innovative solution to transform Michigan’s transportation.
Aimed at enhancing safety, affordability, and efficiency in mobility, PitchMI is part of the Whitmer administration’s broader efforts to spur innovation, support entrepreneurs, and build a more prosperous future for the state.
PitchMI aligns with Michigan’s historic investments in infrastructure, workforce development, and innovation, reinforcing the state’s status as a hub for advanced manufacturing and research. The competition is open to Michigan-based companies with ready-to-demonstrate solutions and will take place on October 24 at the MI Future Mobility Conference in Detroit.
“PitchMI will unleash Michigan’s innovative spirit,” said Whitmer. “I look forward to seeing the creative ideas that emerge.”
