Uniting to provide a cohesive voice

Mi-Light promotes the photonics industry to our legislative leaders, conveying the message that photonics enhances our national defense, enables lifesaving medical and surgical treatments, resolves complicated manufacturing issues while creating jobs, growing our economy and increasing our global competitiveness.

Mi-Light works to unite Michigan’s photonics industry and raise the awareness of the importance of our industry and recommend programs that encourage greater collaboration between industry, academia and government. Together our voice is much stronger, much louder and we will deliver a cohesive message about funding priorities and regulatory issues to government.
