SOUTHFIELD, Mich. — November 13, 2025 — The Centrepolis Accelerator at Lawrence Technological University, in partnership with the Michigan Office of Future Mobility and Electrification (OFME) and the City of Southfield, announced today that it will lead the Michigan Mobility Pavilion at CES 2026, held Jan. 6–9 in Las Vegas.
Located in the Las Vegas Convention Center North Hall, Booth #10115, the Michigan Mobility Pavilion will feature a curated delegation of eight startups representing the state’s rapidly growing mobility, electrification, and advanced manufacturing ecosystem.
The Michigan Mobility Pavilion will showcase groundbreaking technologies shaping the future of transportation — from electric propulsion and next-generation vehicles to autonomous systems and smart infrastructure. Exhibitors include innovators in electric off-road and marine mobility, advanced battery and motor systems, aerial and underwater autonomy, and driver-assist technologies. Together, these companies represent Michigan’s leadership in hardtech innovation and its role in powering the next wave of clean, connected, and intelligent mobility solutions.
“Michigan has long been the epicenter of mobility innovation,” said Dan Radomski, CEO of Centrepolis Accelerator. “At CES 2026, we’re showcasing the startups and technologies driving the next era of transportation — companies that are not only building here in Michigan but changing how the world moves.”
“The Michigan Mobility Pavilion demonstrates our state’s commitment to supporting the entrepreneurs and companies defining what’s next in electrification, automation, and smart manufacturing,” said Justine Johnson, Chief Mobility Officer for the State of Michigan. “This collaborative effort underscores how Michigan’s mobility ecosystem continues to set the national standard for innovation and real-world impact.”
Each participating startup will exhibit its technology on-site, engage in media briefings and networking events, and participate in pavilion-hosted programming, including a Hardtech Meetup and Michigan Networking Reception. The pavilion is part of a broader statewide initiative to elevate Michigan’s global presence in next-generation mobility and manufacturing innovation.
Participating Startups Include: AG3 Labs: Pioneering the next generation of autonomous aerial systems for defense, commercial, and industrial applications. The company develops high-performance, attritable platforms and swarm-control software that enable intelligent, coordinated missions in complex environments. With a focus on autonomy, modular design, and U.S.-based manufacturing, AG3 Labs is redefining what’s possible in scalable, resilient drone technology. Intermode: Democratizing autonomous delivery with its modular robotic vehicle platform called the “Modal.” Designed for leasing rather than purchase, the Modal is a durable, vehicle-grade platform built for customization with sensors, compute stacks, and payload modules. Intermode enables businesses and researchers to integrate robotics at scale with lower upfront cost and minimal complexity.
LIVAQ: Reinventing off-road mobility with its all-electric ORV platform — the EQUAD. Built for adventure and sustainability, the vehicle delivers high performance, a long range, and rugged design,
while reducing emissions and noise. LIVAQ blends Detroit’s automotive heritage with next-gen EV technology to reshape how people explore and connect with nature.
Modal Motors: Redefining electric propulsion with high-torque, non-rare-earth electric motors and fully automated robotic assembly. Designed and built in Michigan with a 100% U.S. supply chain, Modal Motor’s platforms power next-generation mobility — from electric vehicles to drones and robotics — eliminating dependence on rare-earth materials while maximizing performance and manufacturability.
Motmot: Uses autonomous underwater robots to inspect live water mains and capture high-resolution data from inside the pipes. Our asset management platform turns that data into actionable insights– helping cities prevent failures, prioritize repairs, and invest in smarter, more sustainable infrastructure.
Neumo: Measures the condition and cognitive state of drivers in real-time using contactless brainwave sensing. Car makers and fleets use our insights to identify risky behaviors and make driving safer and more comfortable.
Vertical Autonomy: A new aerospace company built on proven innovation, having acquired a world-class unmanned aircraft platform from defense contractor L3Harris. Its flagship FVR aircraft delivers over 20 hours of endurance, full runway independence, and true VTOL capability for land and maritime missions. With always-on SATCOM connectivity, operators maintain global command and data access. Powered by Cobra AERO propulsion, FVR systems achieve unmatched reliability, efficiency, and performance. Voltaic Marine: Voltaic Marine develops and produces advanced electric boats for consumer, commercial, and defense markets. Its patented hull and high-performance battery platform deliver up to twice the range, efficiency, and power of traditional systems.
