Earlier this year, the Cleveland Innovation Project was in the final stages of devising its recommendations to transform the city into a Midwest hub for innovation when the coronavirus ground the economy to a halt. Although the coronavirus didn’t alter the overall focus of the effort, the architects realized they needed to rethink some key goals to fit a post-pandemic version of Northeast Ohio.
The plan also puts an emphasis on developing a pipeline of private capital to start and scale businesses, and developing “innovation zones” like the Health-Tech Corridor and Opportunity Corridor.
The project is the latest in a series of efforts designed to create a more robust and inclusive economy in Cleveland.
