JPMorganChase aims to provide up to $1 billion in financing through Michigan LIFT
JPMorganChase aims to provide up to $1 billion in financing to suppliers over the next decade through Michigan LIFT, a new public-private manufacturing program, the bank said in a Sept. 29 announcement.
The program was launched by Ford Motor, JPMorganChase, the State of Michigan, Michigan Central and Newlab. Its full name is the Michigan Launchpad for Industrial Innovation & Transformation.
The targets
- Ford aspires to award up to $1 billion in contracts to suppliers on the platform over the next decade.
- JPMorganChase aspires to provide up to $1 billion in financing to those suppliers.
- Michigan Central, Newlab and the Michigan Economic Development Corp. aim to bring in more industrial buyers representing more than $1 billion in annual demand by 2036.
The release describes the figures as aspirations, not firm commitments.
How it works
Industrial buyers post supply-chain problems as "Open Calls" for suppliers. When a solution shows a credible path to adoption, the program helps connect it with customer demand, financing, state resources and workforce support, according to the release.
