Ohio Hubs of Innovation and Opportunity

Ohio is committed to being a leading global center for innovation in the 21st century. This commitment draws from the vibrancy of our leading research institutions, which fuel regional innovation; our ability to empower entrepreneurship and create new industries; and our dedication to building upon the strengths of Ohio's regions and urban centers.

While innovation and technological advancement are fueling Ohio's industries across the state, our commitment to catalyze these opportunities within our regions is focused within the Ohio Hubs of Innovation and Opportunity (Ohio Hubs). The Ohio Hubs are envisioned as regional economic development initiatives that build upon leading assets in our urban centers to:

• Provide you access to more cutting-edge innovation, market-driven applied technology and mission critical knowledge that can improve the odds of your business success.
• Make it easier for you to attract and hire employees with specialized skills.
• Catalyze the formation of entrepreneurial companies like yours, while at the same time helping to ensure that Ohio's existing industries retain their competitive advantage in the global marketplace.

There are seven Ohio Hubs of Innovation and Opportunity that are located throughout the state. Download the map of Ohio Hubs for more information.
