DETROIT, June 9, 2025 ~ Detroit, MI - The Global Epicenter of Mobility (GEM), a program under the Detroit Regional Partnership (DRP), has launched a new initiative called the Road to 2030. This ambitious effort aims to identify and analyze the technologies and sectors that will drive economic growth in the Detroit region through 2030.

Building upon GEM's existing research and knowledge assets, including the Future Mobility Technology Study (FMTS), the Road to 2030 will provide deeper insights into seven mobility technologies with the greatest potential for economic growth in the region. These technologies include Assembly Automation, Battery Chemistry and Design, Electric Motors, Hydrogen Fuel Cell Systems, Power Electronics, Propulsion Thermal Management Systems, and Software: Software-Defined Vehicles (SDV), Cybersecurity, and Over-the-Air (OTA) Solutions.

According to Christine Roeder, executive vice president of GEM, "The FMTS leveraged GEM's unique capabilities and resources across metro Detroit's mobility industry to deliver clear pathways for those looking to enter or build upon their presence within the region's mobility sector." The Road to 2030 takes this effort a step further by providing business leaders with additional insights needed to make well-informed decisions about future investments within the industry.

The web-based modules for each technology will be available on GEM's website and will include high-level and detailed analyses, downloadable content, editorial perspectives on their impact on the Detroit region, recent news articles, and more. Additionally, GEM and DRP plan to host informative webinars with industry experts to share deeper insights on each technology.

The first technology that GEM will focus on as part of this initiative is Hydrogen Fuel Cell Systems. According to projections from FMTS, there is a potential unit increase of over 5,000% by 2030 for this technology in the Detroit region. This growth could create nearly 12,000 jobs nationally and 1,700 jobs in Michigan over the next five years.

Bernard Swiecki, vice president of mobility and research at DRP, stated, "By offering this regular cadence of data and analysis to our regional stakeholders, we hope to help inform their short to mid-term business decisions." The goal is to turn research into action and support the growth of the Detroit region's most important industry as it transitions to new technologies over the next decade.
