This week at the Empire Club of Canada in Toronto, we had the opportunity to meet with Governor Gretchen Whitmer and members of her team for a powerful conversation on innovation, worker safety, and Laserglow’s role in shaping the future of industrial awareness systems in America.
We shared how our patented technology uses automation and projected light to bring real-time hazard awareness to industrial facilities. Our mission is to make safety an active, intelligent part of operations rather than a passive afterthought.
Canada-Michigan Partnership
Business is built on relationships and partnerships. Canada and the U.S. share one of the strongest partnerships in the world. - Dimitry Fedorov, CEO at Laserglow Technologies
Laserglow CEO Dimitry Fedorov reinforces the company's commitment to cross-border collaboration, highlighting Laserglow's role in one of the most important trade partnerships in the world.
With over $70 billion in annual trade, Michigan and Canada share one of the most vital economic relationships in the world. The Detroit–Windsor corridor is not only the busiest commercial land border crossing in North America, it also represents decades of cross-border cooperation in manufacturing, logistics, and innovation. For companies like Laserglow, this partnership creates a foundation for growth that is both strategic and deeply rooted in shared industry values.

Atul Garg speaks with Governor Whitmer during a focused conversation on innovation, safety and the future of industrial landscape in the United States.
Our core focus is people. As manufacturing expands across the U.S., the question becomes: how do we keep workers safe in real time, and how do we embed that awareness into the flow of the plant itself? - Atul Garg, COO at Laserglow Technologies
Industrial future in the U.S.
Governor Whitmer leaned in with a question that goes to the heart of our roadmap:

Governor Whitmer shows her commitment to the future of U.S. industry as she engages with Laserglow to ask about new trends and technologies.
Our answer: make safety smarter, every second, every shift. We are working to integrate new technology into the decision-making layer of industrial operations, giving plant managers real-time insights about hazard zones, traffic flows, and worker interactions. It is about moving from reactive response to predictive awareness so teams can reduce risk before it turns into downtime or injury.
New chapter: Laserglow's expansion into the U.S
We also discussed our upcoming facility in Sterling Heights, Michigan, and how a local presence strengthens our ability to serve American customers with greater speed, support, and reliability. For Laserglow, proximity isn’t just operational: it’s strategic. It allows us to stay closer to the evolving needs of our partners and respond in real time to challenges on the ground.
We just want to continue to be of support as you're navigating things. - said Governor Whitmer
Governor Whitmer reaffirmed her support for the ongoing partnership, especially as Laserglow expands operations in the U.S.
As the manufacturing base in the U.S. continues to grow, we hope to play our part in keeping workers safe through innovative smart technologies.
