The Ohio Department of Development established the Edison Technology Incubator Program to assist technology-oriented start-ups during their concept definition and development stages. Incubators allow entrepreneurs to concentrate their limited resources on the development of their product/service by drawing upon the proven expertise and support of the incubator. A professional management team from each Edison Incubator provides expert business advice to their clients. 

How to get help:
Contact Incubator personnel to arrange an initial consultation to discuss the particular needs of your business.  Businesses or individuals are encouraged to develop a business concept plan prior to the first meeting.  Incubator personnel can provide assistance in developing such plans.
