Explore the Ohio Discovery Corridor
The Ohio Discovery Corridor helps life sciences research and technology companies achieve the impossible by connecting companies with Ohio’s network of innovation districts — providing access to space, funding, connections, infrastructure, and a growing pipeline of STEM talent.
This collaboration is enabled by investments from anchor institutions, the State of Ohio and $310 Million in assistance from JobsOhio, the state's economic development corporation. Over ten years, the Ohio Discovery Corridor is expected to inspire 47,500 additional STEM graduates and fuel and estimated 60,000 new jobs.
