- Partnerships with Ohio biotech businesses continue to be sought to develop new technology.
- New biotech businesses will be launched and existing businesses will be encouraged to relocate to Ohio.
- As research continues to grow, more scientists, engineers, research support staff and additional business and technical professionals will be hired.
- In the long term, computational medicine will lead to reduced health care costs by identifying disease and illness early and preventing disease altogether.
- New technology also will lead to fewer medical errors, which cost hospitals billions of dollars annually.
