Northeast Ohio is home to innovators in fields ranging from clinical trials and electronic books to nano materials and anti-virus software. These innovations are often better recognized internationally for their own influence on their respective industries than they are in their own hometowns.
We bring a concerted, focused effort to communicate and celebrate the successes of Northeast Ohio’s innovators both locally and internationally. Our communications strategy has two parts; 1) communicating the region’s technology strategy to the people who ultimately must bring it to life; and 2) communicating stories about those people and the ways in which they have successfully implemented the strategy in order to positively reinforce more activity and more success.
