An advanced technology hub—diverse in industry and rich in cutting-edge research—is taking root in Metro Detroit. Michigan’s Oakland County, home to FANUC America’s Rochester Hills headquarters, is where this new ecosystem has found its footing.

To further strengthen the collective efforts of tech companies based here and foster the type of collaborative environment that will nurture additional innovation, Oakland County has launched the Oakland County Tech Collaboration.

This collaboration includes tech companies, innovators, suppliers, academic institutions and county government creating connections and spurring economic growth in robotics integration, IT and computer services, research, engineering and design.

FANUC America is proud to serve as one of its five founding members, a role titled “Keystone Company.”

“Oakland County’s rich automotive heritage has created a strong technology foundation on which to build and evolve into the future,” says Dick Motley, director of FANUC America’s Authorized System Integrator Network. “You don’t need to look any further than the five founding ‘Keystone Companies’ for proof of the successful technology foundation that exists here in Oakland County.”

The Keystone Companies include FANUC America, HTC Global Services, JR Automation, OneStream, and RGBSI, representing a wide array of expertise across industries, from cutting-edge research and product design to AI and advanced IT software solutions. Their collective efforts will support the retention and expansion of the tech industry, attract new talent, and foster a collaborative environment that nurtures innovation and attracts new investments.

“Oakland County is taking bold steps to establish itself as a national leader in technology innovation by strengthening our strategic focus on research, engineering and design, IT/computer services and robotics integration,” County Executive Dave Coulter said.
