Powering Ohio’s Future: Innovation, Infrastructure, and Talent

Description

Ohio’s growing role as a national leader in next-generation technologies like AI and machine learning fuels growth across tech, manufacturing, healthcare, aerospace, defense, and other key industries. For Ohio to fully embrace this role, a three-pronged pursuit of necessary policies, investments, and skills is critically important. This event will bring together industry stakeholders and elected officials to explore how strategic investments, smart policy, and new skills training opportunities are transforming the state into a thriving hub for economic development and innovation. We’ll highlight the economic impact of data center development, the energy infrastructure needed to support Ohio’s growing demand, and how Ohio’s universities are preparing talent to meet 21st-century demands.
