Research, Development, and Commercialization

Ohio is inventing, deploying, and building the technology and components to serve the robust wind industry. This work is based on our heritage as a home of innovation and opportunity - a place that has coupled great manufacturing might with tremendous intellectual power.

For example, the roots of the wind industry begin in Ohio with the invention of the world's first electric wind turbine by Charles Brush. He placed his invention in the backyard of his Cleveland home and Scientific American documented this great achievement in 1887.

Recently, Ohio voters overwhelmingly approved a $700 million, bi-partisan extension of the state's successful Ohio Third Frontier, a technology-based economic development initiative that is successfully changing the trajectory of Ohio's economy. The Ohio Third Frontier supports existing industries that are transforming themselves with new globally competitive products and fosters the formation and attraction of new companies in emerging industry sectors.
