They include Six Sigma quality, marketing, road-mapping, lean manufacturing, energy efficiency, export market access, supply-chain management, and product development, he said. These battery projects are credited with helping generate $69 million in sales, $35 million in cost savings, $32 million in investment, and 1,041 new or retained jobs.

"We wanted them to really establish their engineering and development work for advanced vehicle batteries here in Michigan." The tax credits helped offset some of the costs. The rest of the credits, worth $600 million, went to battery cell manufacturers.

It has indentified opportunities, developed a strategy and "unique attraction tools," successfully competed for Recovery Act funds, and begun attracting the advanced battery supply chain, he noted. Now the MEDC is focusing on building out the supply chain, assisting on regulatory and policy issues, and using the alliance to build collaboration among government, universities, and industry, he said.
