Aerospace, Science, & Innovation

Ohio is a state of innovators and inventors – engineer brothers from Dayton who took us into the skies; astronauts from our small towns who took us around the earth and onto the moon; entrepreneurs who put our words into motion over a telephone line or our lives into motion on cars and trains.  And we are a state with generations of scientists, researchers, and workers who created vaccines and built our nation’s economic prosperity and national security with their hands and heart.

Just as it was in the 20th Century, Ohio’s leadership in aerospace, science, and innovation will be the backbone our nation’s economic competitiveness and national security in the 21st Century.
