COLUMBUS RegionWelcome to the Columbus Region. Located in the heart of Ohio, it’s an area expanding at an exciting rate with some of the best business resources available. The region itself is located within 10 hours of 47% of the United States population and is in a prime location for any international dealings. The transportation networks provided by Port Columbus International Airport, Rickenbacker International Airport and multiple rail terminals fuel all of these opportunities and grow with the area’s ever-changing demands.
The Columbus Region is home to an extremely capable, educated workforce growing at a rate substantially above the national average. Employees have access to a number of professional development tools and have the ability to further their education at any of the region’s 54 college and university campuses, or enhance their training at one of the many institutes focused on business or industry.
Fifteen Fortune 1000 companies, including 6 Fortune 500 companies, have established their headquarters in the region due to its commitment to improvement and future growth guided by Columbus 2020, an aggressive economic development strategy. The numerous initiatives of the region have been the driving force behind such titles as Forbes’ 2008 “No. 1 up-and-coming tech city in the United States,” and it strives to expand upon these awards to further reinforce the strengths of commerce in the area.
With access to distribution points, an abundance of critical resources and the latest technology, the Columbus Region is brimming with opportunities to help businesses reach their full potential.
