Columbus, Ohio

Ohio’s capital is nationally recognized for economic growth, low unemployment, and rich entrepreneurial spirit. It is home to preeminent schools and universities. It’s a hub of cultural activity. And its location is within a day’s drive of half of the population of the United States. In fact, if you were to balance the nation’s population on a single point, Columbus is near that point.

The city is at the foundation of a diverse economy. Columbus leads the Midwest in key industries including education, logistics, professional/financial services, retail, insurance, healthcare, and food services. And with 18 colleges fueling a highly educated workforce, it’s no wonder many of Ohio’s most prestigious corporations establish headquarters here. Even some of the nation’s most recognizable brands call Columbus home.
