We’re Building the Silicon Heartland. It’s more than a catchphrase. It’s an action step helping business founders and leaders innovate how they create, work, and live. When business and political decision-makers transform a languishing rust belt into a high-performing silicon hub, they can overcome all economic headwinds and deliver high returns on investment.

I’m a content creator who provides story-building workshops for business leaders and entrepreneurs. Continuous learning about innovation, technology, and entrepreneurship is a priority for me. It’s the driving factor bringing me to the 2023 Ohio Tech Summit on The Ohio State University campus.

I want to learn from startup founders, political staff, and corporate leaders working to transform the Midwest Rust Belt into something close to a Silicon Tech Hub. Their actions and ideas will help me efficiently scale my creative services enterprise.

Ohio Tech Summit panelists cover multiple topics around diversity, funding, and tech-enabled workers. Whether corporate employees or startup entrepreneurs, they unite on the principle that a Rust Belt state like Ohio claims an existing infrastructure and groundwork for business success. Their concepts and operations transform existing groundwork into a more innovative, productive, and valuable business climate.
