UltraSight: Kicking Off a U.S. Fundraising Tour in Michigan
UltraSight, a cutting-edge healthtech company redefining cardiac care through AI-powered ultrasound guidance, selected Michigan to kick off its U.S. Series B fundraising roadshow. MIBA helped facilitate key meetings with strategic partners and investors across the state. UltraSight’s breakthrough software transforms handheld ultrasound devices into powerful diagnostic tools—helping expand access to critical care and reduce strain on overburdened systems. Michigan’s strength in medtech, manufacturing, and health systems made it a natural place to begin conversations with future collaborators and capital partners.
Contguard: Securing Supply Chains for Michigan’s Industrial Backbone
Contguard, a leader in IoT-driven supply chain security, is actively considering Michigan as a base for its U.S. expansion. With a proprietary platform that delivers real-time visibility, analytics, and AI-powered risk mitigation for global shipping, Contguard’s solutions are uniquely aligned with Michigan’s industrial landscape. The state’s deep manufacturing base, combined with its robust mobility and defense sectors, positions Michigan as an ideal launchpad for the company’s smart container and asset protection technologies. MIBA coordinated multiple business development engagements during the visit to explore commercial opportunities and regional partnerships.
Salvador Technologies: Bringing Cyber Resilience to Critical Infrastructure
Salvador Technologies, a fast-growing Israeli cybersecurity company focused on operational continuity, visited Michigan in July to engage with potential customers in advanced manufacturing, energy, and defense. With a unique platform designed to ensure zero-downtime recovery from ransomware and other cyberattacks, Salvador offers solutions tailored for operational technology (OT) environments—a growing priority in Michigan’s evolving industrial ecosystem. Their visit underscores the rising demand for cybersecurity across sectors and the state’s reputation as a forward-thinking technology hub.
These visits reflect MIBA’s ongoing mission to connect Michigan’s industries with global innovation. As these companies continue to evaluate opportunities, MIBA will remain a bridge to investment, market entry, and long-term partnerships.
