Welcome to the i4.0 Technology Hall

Navigating Advanced Manufacturing Tech Just Got Easier

Finding the right technology solutions for your factory floor is difficult, time-consuming, and expensive. That’s why the State of Michigan created the Industry 4.0 Accelerator—a FREE resource designed to help Michigan-based manufacturers and value chain partners find, evaluate, and adopt the right advanced technologies.

Visit our booth in the i4.0 Tech Hall to learn more and speak with our team of experts.

What We Do (for Free!)

Tech Scouting

We search globally to identify emerging technologies that solve real-world manufacturing challenges.

Vetting

We rigorously evaluate technology solutions for readiness, fit, and performance—so you don’t have to.

Curated Introductions

We connect you with the right solution providers based on your specific needs, goals, and constraints.

We work with Michigan manufacturers at no cost to:

Understand their unique operational and workforce challenges

Identify and prioritize problem areas worth solving

Compare solution categories and platforms

Introduce vetted startups and system integrators that fit their needs

Because we’re funded by the State of Michigan, we have no financial stake in the technologies we recommend. Our mission is simply to help Michigan manufacturers become more globally competitive.

Think of us as your personal tech scout and guide—without the consulting fees.

Why It Matters Now

Two major challenges dominate shop floors across the state:

Labor Shortages

The Rising Cost of Quality

These have driven a wave of innovation in areas like:

  • Autonomous Material Handling

  • Automated In-Line Inspection

  • Machine Vision

  • Edge & Cloud Computing

  • AI & Robotics

We help you make sense of what’s real, what works, and what’s worth exploring.
