It was a busy winter at Lawrence Technological University, and an even busier spring is almost upon us!
Shortly after the New Year, LTU hosted a Michigan Mobility exhibit at CES, the international consumer electronics show in Las Vegas. The exhibit showcased seven cutting-edge startups in electrification and mobility.
The pavilion provided a global stage for Electric Outdoors, developers of off-grid, solar-powered “glamping” equipment; Lectric Boil, developers of energy efficient electric water heaters; LIVAQ, makers of all-electric ATVs for sustainable off-roading; Modal Motors, developing advanced electric motor technology; Neumo, developers of neurotechnology-driven in-cabin driver monitoring; Voltaic Marine, developing electric boats and charging infrastructure; and WheelMe, developers of intelligent wheel technology for automation.
Centrepolis officials said the event generated major business opportunities and new connections for these startups, and showcased LTU’s Centrepolis Accelerator as a national hub of innovation.
