Applied Dynamics International received Michigan Strategic Fund approval for support, the Michigan Economic Development Corporation announced today.

Applied Dynamics International, Inc., founded in 1957 in Ann Arbor, specializes in advanced computing and helps companies make better use of simulation assets through all stages of product development, testing, demonstration, training, and maintenance. The company, which is experiencing rapid growth, will invest nearly $4.4 million and create 100 high-paying jobs as part of its expansion. As a result, the company has been awarded a $650,000 Michigan Business Development Program performance-based grant. Michigan was chosen over competing sites in Seattle and the UK. Ann Arbor SPARK is planning to assist the company in attracting talent for the new positions. For information on careers with ADI, please visit https://www.adi.com/company/careers/.
