Cleveland is the second largest city in Ohio and sits on the south shore of Lake Erie. It has a long history of heavy manufacturing because it was also a transport hub. However this industry has declined and the city’s industries are now more diverse. The city was also faced with economic decline and urban decline but these trends have been reversed with a revitalized downtown area. Poverty is still an issue in some parts but this is slowly changing.
Cleveland’s growing economy is now based on the legal, financial, insurance and health technology industries. The world famous Cleveland Clinic has its roots here. Also the recently built MidTown Tech Park is based in the city. In fact this is now part of the area known as Health-Tech Corridor. This three mile long corridor is seen as the catalyst which will attract many health technology enterprises to the city.
At the center of the Tech Corridor are Cuyahoga Community College and Cleveland State University offering health technology curricula. The corridor is currently host to over 100 technology, healthcare and biomedical companies. The proximity of four world famous research and clinical focused health institutions add to the rich mix of this area. These include the aforementioned Cleveland Clinic and the University Hospitals.
The Health-Tech Corridor’s focus is on innovation – and institutions that are focused on innovation. Helping this is a workforce rich in the skills necessary to make this happen, and a governing body willing to make this succeed. Also there is a mixture of both public and private investors capable of putting billion of dollars into the system.
Within Cleveland’s Health-Tech corridor the emphasis is collaboration between academia and the technology, health and biomed institutions located there. By placing them in a flourishing area filled with a variety of culture, arts, entertainment and business locations the cities investment in its future looks promising.
