Statewide Initiative
How Ohio’s Innovation Hubs Work Together
Launched by Governor Mike DeWine, Ohio’s Innovation Hubs program positions the state as a national leader in innovation-driven economic growth. Modeled after major Innovation Districts in Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Columbus, the program extends into smaller regions to maximize Ohio’s industrial base.
“The new Youngstown Innovation Hub will bolster economic development locally and statewide, capitalizing on the region’s long-standing additive manufacturing technology and research. With support from the Ohio Innovation Hubs Program, partners will now have added capacity to drive critical advancements in the defense and aerospace industries by transforming the way military equipment is made and strengthening our country’s national defense supply chains.”
