Dear Faculty:

Receive up to $100,000 in funding from the U-M MTRAC Transportation Program. Currently, seven projects are accelerating their technology's commercialization using MTRAC Transportation funding.  Each awarded team receives financing through a 12-month grant, and mentoring from the MTRAC Board's industry experts and venture capitalists.

"MTRAC Transportation played a crucial role in introducing us to the right potential customers which really helped us refine our value proposition.  I was able to travel around the country and discuss the capacity of the technology with industry experts," Muhammad Faisal, MTRAC awardee, Movellus CEO.  

Interested?  Visit MTRAC Transportation to see who received funding, and the projects they are working on.
