Ohio has spent more than a century turning invention into industry. The state that gave the world powered flight and the incandescent lamp built its economy on making things — steel, rubber, machine tools, aircraft, cars — and then had to work out what came next when much of that making moved elsewhere. INNOVATE® Ohio arrives at the point where the answer is becoming visible.
The story runs across the whole state: the semiconductor and advanced manufacturing investment reshaping central Ohio, the polymer and materials science cluster around Akron, the aerospace and research corridor that links Dayton to Cleveland, and the health systems, universities and consumer brands anchoring Cincinnati and the northeast. This volume will feature the people and organisations building that next chapter — the founders, researchers, manufacturers and institutions turning Ohio’s industrial inheritance into something new.
INNOVATE® Ohio is currently in production. If you are shaping innovation in Ohio, or you know someone who is, we would like to hear from you.
