Entrepreneurship

With the nation’s 12th largest economy, prestigious universities and an array of resources that fuel innovation and creativity, the entrepreneurial spirit burns bright in Northeast Ohio. That spirit continues to drive our growth as a region and attract ambitious entrepreneurs – just like you.

We are not the only ones who believe that Cleveland Plus is an ideal area for early-start and established entrepreneurs. In fact, we were recognized as one of the hottest regions for entrepreneurs by Entrepreneur magazine – ranking higher than San Francisco, Boston, Seattle and New York. The Intelligent Community Forum (ICF) also listed us as one of only seven cities in the world (and the only city in the United States) to be named a “Top 7 Intelligent Community.” That means we are a paragon for what the ICF calls “vibrant local economies and healthy societies.”

Bring your talent and initiative to the Cleveland Plus Region and discover all the opportunities and support that will help you flourish. With incubators and accelerators popping up throughout the region combined with technology transfer initiatives and unmatched research departments at our universities, your entrepreneurial spirit will be encouraged and embraced.
