Ohio leaders in business tech and venture capital will advise new state innovation effort cleveland com

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Some of Ohio’s most prominent names in business, tech and venture capital will advise Lt. Gov. Jon Husted’s new state government innovation initiative.

Husted’s office on Monday launched the website for InnovateOhio, the expansive but poorly understood new government department which Gov. Mike DeWine tapped Husted to run shortly after taking office in January. Prominently featured on the new site is a video in which Husted describes his vision for InnovateOhio, which aims to use technology to improve Ohioans’ lives and streamline government operations.
