Ohio and Pennsylvania state governments have created investment and business assistance programs to spur innovation and growth in these transforming economies. The return on these tech-based economic programs is an impressive $800 million.

The Tech Belt Initiative covers an inter-state region of 7.2 million people, making it the 4th largest industrial/technology region in the nation, with a potential economic impact of more than $1 billion in annual academic research & development. Currently, 700+ companies employ 25,000+ in bioscience enterprises alone.

The momentum is growing, the pieces are in place, but the critical tipping point is NOW. Federal funding investment to match these essential state programs could accelerate the economic transformation of the Tech Belt.
