UAW Center for Manufacturing a Green Economy (CMGE)

It provides technical assistance to cleantech companies, connecting them with financing, industrial sites, procurement and training, including state grants and loan capital of $200,000 to $10 million from partner community development financial institutions. It also advocates for sub-national green industrial policy and runs battery workforce programs, including battery manufacturing curriculum and battery safety education developed with the UAW Health and Safety Department.

CMGE is the climate arm of the United Auto Workers and was created by UAW Region 6. Its stated aim is a battery and EV manufacturing economy across California and the West.
