Newlab at Michigan Central is a building for startups who have a focus on working toward a future of mobility.
Newlab, in the rehabbed Book Depository building in Detroit’s Corktown neighborhood, has more than 25 companies, Ford said Tuesday in a news release, and has goals to bring in other partners, such as people from the public sector, in academia and large companies.
Ford executives and government officials are expected to celebrate the opening of Newlab at an event in Corktown on Tuesday afternoon. The rehabbed building is part of the new mobility campus Ford is setting up in the neighborhood that also will include the renovated Michigan Central Station.
By setting up shop in the Newlab, startups can utilize a framework that will allow for safe testing in the community lab space, access to capital and connection with mentors, along with having their own lab spaces.
