The Michigan Maritime Innovation Grant Program has awarded $3.5 million to enhance maritime technology initiatives. This funding aims to stimulate economic growth in the maritime sector through targeted projects and private investments.

Michigan has announced $3.5 million in funding for maritime technology projects, with $1.5 million allocated through the Michigan Maritime Innovation Grant Program. Five projects are set to benefit from this funding, alongside $2 million in private industry investments.
Notable among the funded initiatives is one at the National All-Domain Warfighting Center in Alpena, which focuses on developing an autonomous maritime corridor for the defense sector.
