Few locations in the world can match Ohio’s infrastructure and asset base for start-up and emerging bioscience companies.

From 2004 to 2010, at least 413 new bio-related firms began operations in Ohio - an average of 59 each year. A few were relocations from other states or countries, but most were started by entrepreneurs or spun-out by companies in Ohio. They started their companies here and were quickly surrounded by resources to help them succeed, from incubators and networking groups to private equity sources and legal expertise.
