Infrastructure Innovation Tour Resources
Thank you for joining us on an Infrastructure Innovation tour of the state of Michigan.
During the past five years, URC institutions conducted $1.64B in infrastructure-related research and initiatives in the fields of water, mobility, energy and communications. R&D efforts that spanned more than one of those categories equaled $274M. These contributions to infrastructure innovations and talent continue to reshape how people and business interact with their built and digital environments.
