Since the early 2000s, a significant shift has occurred in pulling VC funding away from the West Coast. Where is the funding going? It’s heading to the Midwest, and Ohio is leading the way. Ohio is earning national attention for its thriving and continuously growing startup environment.
The JobsOhio Research and Development (R&D) Center Grant program was created to facilitate the research, development and commercialization of new products and services in Ohio. If your company meets the criteria for qualification, you may be eligible. Find out if you do.
Foreign companies are crucial to Ohio’s economy. Ohio has seen an impressive amount of growth in part because of their continuous investments in the state’s economy. In order to maintain a healthy relationship with foreign investors, Ohio will have a strong presence at the 2017 SelectUSA Investment Summit.
New R&D Center Grant Program offers $50 million of funding to help further innovation in JobsOhio’s nine targeted industries. This new grant will help companies make strategic investments in new R&D Centers that support existing and emerging sectors. The grant program is accessible to middle-market companies, designed for for-profit companies and non-profit institutes, and focused on the future commercialization of these facilities.
