Ohio Ranks Among Top 10 “Small Tech” Hot Spots
Ohio made a breakout move to become one of the country’s top-10 “hot spots” for nanotechnology, according to the latest rankings from Ohio Ranks Among Top 10 “Small Tech” Hot Spots
Ohio made a breakout move to become one of the country’s top-10 “hot spots” for nanotechnology, according to the latest rankings from Small Times magazine. “Strong engineering schools coupled with medical, space, and military labs and dozens of innovative companies” pushed the state up seven spots from last year to take the 10th spot nationwide.
Based on data from more than a dozen federal research agencies and commercial analysis firms, Small Times rated each state in six categories. Ohio ranked 7th in the innovation category, and 8th in industry -- a “strong showing [that] suggests it could become a commercial force in the future,” the editors wrote. The state also scored 14th in the research category, which the magazine attributed to a combination of bioengineering and micro-device work at Ohio State and nanomaterials work at the University of Cincinnati.
Though Small Times details its analysis in the March/April print edition, a summary of the findings are available on the Web here.
