The purpose of IMATC is to support greater collaboration between the Michigan testing and manufacturing ecosystem and Israeli innovative companies in a variety of industries, and specifically in automotive industry. 
Through IMATC, Israeli companies will be supported in testing and piloting qualified technologies in Michigan\u2019s facilities such as American Center for Mobility (ACM), MCity and\/or on Michigan roadways, as well as have access to top technology incubators, accelerators and industry leaders operating in the state. Israeli companies will also get the opportunity to test their technology in extreme weather conditions such as Michigan\u2019s cold and snowy winter.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n
