Bioscience Companies are Buzzing about Ohio

With more than $1 billion in funding and 818 bioscience entities in operation throughout the state, Ohio is establishing an international leadership role in the cutting-edge bioscience industry.

Based on the color model established by European bioscience leaders, Ohio's strength in the Red (health), Green (agriculture) and White (industrial) bioscience industry sectors stimulates innovation, promotes cross-collaboration and provides cost-effective solutions to scientific challenges. More than $154 million in public funding also supported large-scale, world-class Ohio bioscience R&D through several Ohio Third Frontier Biomedical Partnerships in Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati.

I recently spoke with Tony Dennis, president and CEO of BioOhio, a non-profit organization designed to build and accelerate bioscience industry, research and education in Ohio. Dennis believes that Ohio has created an ideal environment for establishing and growing a bioscience business. He says the benefit is a critical mass of like-minded bio-businesses and research universities, a highly qualified workforce, and Ohio's vast educational and recreational opportunities that make it particularly attractive both professionally and personally.
