GLOBAL AUTOMOTIVE & MOBILITY INNOVATION CHALLEGE
Where Mobility Startups Gain Access and Industry Gains Innovation
Since 2008, GAMIC has accelerated mobility startups by bridging the gap between innovation and industry.
ABOUT GAMIC
Our Mission
The Global Automotive & Mobility Innovation Challenge (GAMIC) is a non-profit competition and accelerator dedicated to advancing early-stage mobility technologies. Our mission is to:
Provide startups with the access, credibility, and acceleration they need to grow.
Connect the mobility ecosystem — startups, industry, investors, mentors, and partners — in a way that drives collaboration and real-world impact.
Champion innovation that shapes the future of mobility.
MAKING A DIFFERENCE
Our Impact
Since 2008, GAMIC has supported over 1,000 startup alumni, helping them launch pilots, form global partnerships, and secure more than $2 billion USD in investment and acquisitions. Alumni continue to engage with the GAMIC community as mentors, judges, and ecosystem leaders.
NOT JUST ANOTHER PITCH COMPETITION
Why GAMIC is Different
Most startup competitions ask for equity, charge a fee, or only offer a one-time stage. GAMIC is different:
No cost. No equity.
Applying and competing is completely free for startups.
Beyond the pitch.
Founders gain mentorship, visibility, and direct connections that last long after the finals.
Supported by industry
With support from SAE International and the Michigan Innovation Alliance, GAMIC startups get visibility where it matters most.
Global reach, automotive core.
Headquartered in Southeast Michigan, USA, GAMIC connects startups to the world’s leading automotive and mobility ecosystem.
SUPPORTED BY INDUSTRY DECISION-MAKERS
Our Connection to SAE International
GAMIC is proud to be supported by SAE International, the world’s largest mobility-focused engineering association. This connection ensures that GAMIC startups gain visibility with decision-makers at the center of the global mobility ecosystem.
Each year, the GAMIC Finals are held during SAE’s WCX World Congress in Detroit, Michigan, USA — one of the premier gatherings for mobility professionals worldwide.
Get Involved
Whether you’re a startup, sponsor, mentor, or industry leader, GAMIC is the platform where innovation meets opportunity.
