FAIM 2022 Conference - Industry Day

Wednesday, June 22, 2022

8:30 AM-4:30 PM

Why FAIM 2022. 

The World Economic Forum has recognized that Michigan has maintained the highest level of engineering talent post-recession relative to other states and, through recent collaborations, has consistently witnessed a shared engagement among manufacturers on matters of critical importance to future manufacturing leadership. 

Michigan has an innovative spirit that defined the state’s manufacturing industry for decades. However, while numerous Michigan manufacturers have taken steps to adopt smart technologies on their factory floors, no one company, organization, or entity can single-handedly create an environment to ensure its future position as a global leader. Partnerships between academia and industry drive innovation. As technology increasingly disrupts existing industries and creates new products, services, and business models, FAIM 2022 is critical to bridging leading academic research with industry practitioners providing a place to support advanced manufacturing.
