“I am absolutely thrilled to say for the very first time- Welcome to Detroit!”
Project Director of Move America, Cormac Cronin Martin, kicks-off the Keynote Stage at MOVE America 2025 to offer his opening remarks.
Cormac takes us through the key reasons behind MOVE’s strategic relocation to Detroit unpacking the city’s rich automotive history and its long-held status as a hub for innovation and thought leadership.
“No matter who you talk to, whether its your uber driver, a bar man, someone in the industry, someone in government, everyone is crackling with excitement because they can all feel the energy of a city on the rise.”
From the nation’s first electric charging road to its autonomous shuttle programme and the city’s network of start-up incubators, Cormac explores why the Motor City is the obvious choice for MOVE America’s sixth iteration.
Cormac ends his speech by thanking the city of Detroit, the event’s sponsors, and the 500 speakers contributing their stories to the MOVE legacy.
He outlines MOVE America’s key mission: to empower the technology of tomorrow and connect people with the cutting edge of mobility innovation.
“Mobility is about connecting people to opportunity and getting them to financial freedom- its about connecting industry with talent that can forge the future.”
