Technology | TITC Edison Centers & Incubators

Companies and investors must submit their applications to one of the below Edison Technology Representatives.  We encourage companies to choose an Edison Representative that suits the particular technology sector of their company, as opposed to choosing an Edison Representative that is closest to their place of business.  Investors do not have to submit their applications to the same Edison Representative as the entity in which they are investing.

For more information about particular Edison Technology Centers or the Edison Technology Incubators around the state, please visit the individual program pages. Please make a note that all checks for application fees should be addressed to the name of the Edison Representative, and not to the Ohio Department of Development, Office of Technology Investments, or the Edison Center.  (i.e. a check should be made out to Akron Global Business Accelerator or BioOhio)
