Public-Private Support

Public-private support eliminates obstacles, accelerates start-up and reduces risk to business growth.

Fact: Ohio’s predictable and fair regulatory environment makes it easier for companies to focus their resources toward business development—without bureaucratic hurdles.

Benefit: Public-private support eliminates obstacles, accelerates start-up and reduces risk to business growth.

Ohio’s legislative history of working closely with industry is a leading indicator of the state’s pro-business climate. Businesses with emerging technologies and new product development are offered built-in advantages through Ohio’s network of research and development facilities. This keeps development close to home and the cost of doing so down through local partnership, including Columbus-headquartered global contract research leader Battelle Memorial Institute and a state-backed system of Wright Centers of Innovation.

Additionally, Ohio’s seven Edison Technology Centers located around the state provide a variety of product and process innovation and commercialization services to both established and early-stage technology-based businesses. Ohio’s no-surprise regulations and impressive R&D sector provide a perfect mix to foster innovation.
