The state is home to nearly one-fifth of U.S. auto production — more than any other state in the nation — and has the greatest concentration of OEMs in the country. Add to that, Michigan’s automotive industry purchased nearly $35 million in products and services from semiconductor companies in Michigan in 2020 alone, building on the state’s leadership in semiconductor R&D and testing. This is due in large part to the state’s talent and processes supported by Hemlock Semiconductor, KLA and the University of Michigan, which is the top global institute for semiconductor training.
