“The Global Automotive & Mobility Innovation Challenge or GAMIC is designed to identify innovative companies, cultivate new technologies and solutions, and hasten their adoption into the automotive industry” said David Stout, SAE International board of directors and GAMIC 12th co-chair. “Founded as collaboration between SAE and the MI Innovation Alliance, GAMIC has been exceedingly beneficial to our entrant companies in both funding and commercialization. GAMIC provides over $300,000 of in-kind commercialization services and cash awards to winners.”

GAMIC is a three-phase, global virtual pitch competition that begins by submitting a free online application, via F6S (www.f6s.com/gamic13th/apply).
