A highly strategic and intense mission for Vehicle Valley Piemonte has recently concluded, bringing its message and potential to the heart of the U.S. automotive industry.
This significant engagement at VTM Michigan allowed our delegation to showcase Piedmont’s industrial ecosystem and articulate why the region stands as a key partner for the future development of mobility: solid, innovative, and deeply connected.

The mission has also facilitated valuable exchanges with innovative companies like Mayco International and Mullen Automotive. These interactions collectively reinforced the international positioning of our territory within the global automotive landscape.
Monica Mailander Macaluso, President of Vehicle Valley Piemonte, commented on the mission’s success:
“We had the opportunity to present the quality of the Piedmont system, both in terms of attracting investments and promoting our companies. Our objective is to build strong and stable relationships, as has happened in the past, starting from a solid, shared industrial identity.”
This mission to VTM Michigan directly embodies Vehicle Valley Piemonte’s core objective: to unite expertise, companies, institutions, and research centers. The aim is to build a platform open to international cooperation and foster growth, thereby strengthening Piedmont’s role as a global reference point for mobility innovation.
