OhioX President and CEO Chris Berry joined Mike Kallmeyer to talk about the work being done to turn Ohio into a technology hub.

“What’s most exciting about Ohio’s tech opportunity is it’s in areas that we’ve already been good at for a long time,” Berry said. “So Intel, it’s manufacturing, so, it’s manufacturing tech, the future of manufacturing. So it’s around things like insurance. We have Nationwide here in Columbus, Progressive in Cleveland, a bunch down in Cincinnati.”

Berry said Ohio has a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to remake itself. He also said he’s not sure if Intel would come to Ohio, had it not been for the pandemic.

“In all the difficulty and all of the awfulness of COVID, things have been coming back to America, reshaping what’s happening,” Berry said.
