CEOs across the country have spoken: Ohio is the best state in the Midwest for doing business. Chief Executive Magazine's annual list of the “Best and Worst States for Business” ranked Ohio No. 7 nationwide and No. 1 in the Midwest for 2026.

Thanks to @IAmBiotech @OhioLifeScience for spotlighting the Ohio Discovery Corridor, which connects companies with Ohio’s network of innovation districts — providing access to space, funding, connections, infrastructure, and a growing pipeline of STEM talent @JobsOhio @OhioEDA

The final stop in Columbus brought the BIO team to @Sarepta for a fireside chat between BIO President & CEO John F. Crowley and Dr. Louise Rodino-Klapac, Ph.D, president & head of R&D and technical operations for Sarepta. Moderated by President & CEO of @OhioLifeScience Eddie Pauline, the discussion focused on the “man-made” barriers that can slow innovation reaching patients - and the shared responsibility to address them. The two also underscored why Ohio is uniquely positioned to lead in gene therapy and precision medicine, reflecting the strength of its research institutions and collaborative ecosystem. #BIOontheAmericanRoad

Up next -> the BIO team arrived at @OhioLifeScience for a roundtable discussion with more than 30 biotech entrepreneurs and leaders committed to advancing Ohio’s life sciences, biomanufacturing, and innovation economy. The conversation highlighted the strength of Ohio’s ecosystem - driven by collaboration across research institutions, industry, and economic development partners - with a deeper dive alongside @OhioState on investments in research and efforts to accelerate clinical trials. #BIOontheAmericanRoad

Ohio's life sciences industry by the numbers: • 63,800+ workers strong • 12.8% growth since 2019 • $105K average wages • 7,600+ patent awards (2019–2023) Learn more: ohiolifesciences.org/about/

A strong start to the day in Columbus. The BIO team began at the Jerry Mendell Center for Gene Therapy at Nationwide Children's Hospital (@nationwidekids), where leadership highlighted how Central Ohio has emerged as a national hub for cell and gene therapy innovation. From pioneering three of the first approved CGTs in the U.S. to building a model that integrates early-stage research with clinical care, the Center has helped generate nearly 30 startup spinouts and significantly expanded research investment over the past decade. #BIOontheAmericanRoad

BIO on the American Road has arrived in Columbus, Ohio - bringing together leaders from across the Buckeye State’s rapidly growing life sciences ecosystem.

What New Yorkers are seeing in the skies this week is being built in Ohio. @JobyAviation just made history with the first-ever point-to-point eVTOL flight in NYC—JFK to Manhattan in 7 minutes. The aircraft? Made possible by Ohio's growing manufacturing footprint.

The companies building the future aren't just visiting Ohio anymore—they're choosing to build here, expand here, and grow here: jobsohio.com/newsroom/news-…. @OhioDevelopment

Ohio’s momentum isn’t by chance. It’s the result of clear strategy, strong partnerships, and a relentless focus on helping people and companies grow. @nypost @californiapost nypost.com/2026/04/23/rea…

Anduril is tapping into Ohio’s talent pipeline. High schools + colleges are aligning training with advanced manufacturing needs – engineering, robotics, operations – while emphasizing hands-on skills, credentials, and clear paths to jobs. axios.com/local/columbus…

When SNC set its sights on Dayton, it didn’t just want to build buildings—it aimed to set a new gold standard for aerospace. By locating next to Wright-Patterson AFB, SNC shows proximity is power. If you want to build the future, choose Ohio. youtube.com/watch?v=RC450I…

Ohio is honored to be a part of the broader mission of space exploration—through the researchers at @NASAglenn, the work at @WrightPattAFB, and the 57 companies across our state contributing to the Artemis supply chain.

To the astronauts of Artemis II: WELCOME HOME, and thank you. What you did took bravery that few of us can fully comprehend. @NASA
