"I am thrilled that Michigan has won a competitive, national Tech Hub grant to develop and deploy technologies critical to the future of the economy and our national security. The Materials Advancement and Research Solutions, or MARS, Strategy Development Consortium in East Lansing, Michigan, led by the Michigan State University Research Foundation, will use this grant to work on synthetic diamond and rare isotope production. The national network of Tech Hubs, funded by President Biden's bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act, will help Michigan continue to be a center of game-changing innovation. Let's keep building the future."
