3 GREATER CINCINNATI: A REGION OF OPPORTUNITIES Greater Cincinnati s momentum, resources, talent, and demand for technology have never been stronger. As a result, our region is fertile ground to launch new technology businesses and to establish corporate centers of technology and innovation. ADVANCED MANUFACTURING The use of advanced technology is critical to the current and future success of advanced manufacturing firms, and since there are 3,000+ industry-related companies in our region, demand is high. That s why industry leaders like GE Aviation, lyondellbasell, and ThyssenKrupp Bilstein have centers of innovation and IT excellence in our region. CONSUMER INSIGHTS Knowledge is power for consumer products companies and retailers, particularly when it comes to understanding the purchasing behavior of their customers. As the home of 200+ consumer products companies, there is a large need for data insights and analytics services. To tap into this opportunity, eight of the top 25 big data firms in the nation are in Greater Cincinnati, including dunnhumby USA, established in 2003 by The Kroger Co. and UK-based dunnhumby Ltd. Cincinnati is one of the ten cities on the brink of becoming the next Silicon Valley.

Our region also features a number of accelerators, incubators and funding sources for healthcare IT and life sciences startups.
