Lansing Economic Club

Description

Michigan is at the forefront of a significant economic and technological transformation, a global shift to advanced battery technologies. At the center of that transformation is the Lansing region.

With LG Energy Solutions $4 billion investment in the Lansing region and establishing a battery cell manufacturing presence in our state, the Lansing region is positioned as a major hub for next generation energy storage and advanced manufacturing. This program will explore what that investment means related to jobs, supply chains, business growth, and Lansing and Michigan's long-term economic competitiveness.

This Lansing Economic Club program will feature Anthony O'Donovan, Operations Director, LG Energy Solutions MI, a global leader in advanced battery technologies whose cutting edge work is shaping the future of energy storage, electric mobility, and industrial scale battery cell manufacturing. From prismatic battery cell technologies to landmark partnerships with global automotive leaders like Tesla and utility companies such as DTE, LG Energy Solutions MI represents the kind of major, long term private sector investment that transforms regions and states.

The discussion will go beyond the investment announcement as it examines what this means for building a new supply chain ecosystem in Michigan, creating long term economic development pathways, and positioning the Lansing region and state as a global location for advanced technology investment.
