About this Event
The GAMIC Semifinals bring together a curated group of high-potential startups from this year’s Global Automotive & Mobility Innovation Challenge as they advance toward the finals.
At this stage, companies have already progressed through earlier rounds and are now presenting to a panel of expert evaluators. Attendees will experience live startup presentations, informed questioning, and real-time evaluation grounded in market demand, industrial feasibility, and strategic alignment.
This event offers a front-row view into how emerging innovation is assessed for real-world adoption across mobility, advanced manufacturing, AI, and related technologies. Rather than promotional pitching, the focus is on interpretation — helping industry stakeholders understand which signals matter, why they matter, and how they align with real industry pathways.
The GAMIC Semifinals are held in partnership with the University of Michigan - Dearborn, College of Engineering & Computer Science, reinforcing the Challenge’s emphasis on applied engineering, technical rigor, and credible evaluation.
Venue note:
The event will take place at the University of Michigan–Dearborn College of Business, Dining Room D. While the College of Engineering & Computer Science is the event partner, the College of Business is providing the event space. On-site signage will be in place to direct attendees from parking areas to the correct venue and room.
