In my last post, I mentioned that Michigan has some very unique organizations offering amazing resources to help with your business development, and that I will be highlighting some of these groups and resources in this blog. To give you a sense of the breadth of some of the business support organizations in Michigan, I would like to direct you to an interesting group that a member of our team, Bonnie Fahoome, pointed out to me last week - the Fraunhofer Center for Coatings and Laser Applications.
The Fraunhofer Center is a non-profit group that has a close partnership with Michigan State University. They offer resources like Laser Processing Services, Coating Services, and Characterization and Testing Facilities - in addition to many others. They describe themselves as "...a non-profit organization providing research services to our customers who include federal and state governments, multinational corporations, and small to medium-size companies. The overall aim of the entire Fraunhofer organization is to bridge the gap between research and industry by providing top notch applied research services..."
Who needs any of these things? Having never worked directly with lasers or coatings and not yet doing the appropriate research, I currently have no idea - but if you're looking for any of these types of specialized services, they look to be a great place to turn for assistance.
