Apple Manufacturing Academy Hosts AI Showcase

Apple hosted the first Spring Forum for its Manufacturing Academy at Michigan State University in East Lansing, drawing hundreds of manufacturers for tours, talks, and AI demonstrations.

The event featured company visits, expert sessions, and a poster showcase focused on AI and smart manufacturing in real factory settings.

Apple said the free program has now helped more than 150 companies and has recently expanded to virtual training.

The forum underscores Apple’s push to spread AI and advanced manufacturing skills across U.S. companies, especially smaller manufacturers.
