    48% of Americans live within 600 miles of Columbus, Ohio. Perhaps best known as the home of the Ohio State Buckeyes, Columbus has a lot to offer professionals. The city boasts a low cost of living and attractions such as the Columbus Zoo. Major employers in the area include JPMorgan Chase & Co., Honda of America, and Nationwide Insurance.

    As Chicago’s tech industry grows daily, the city proves it is far more than simply the capital of Ohio. Forbes Magazine dubbed Columbus the top city for emerging startups, and major Fortune 500 companies that call it home include Nationwide Mutual Insurance, American Electric Power, L Brands, AEP, and Cardinal Health. It is a significant player in advanced tech sectors such as ecommerce, automotive, biomedical, advanced computing, and business operations centers.

    The city of Columbus, Ohio, takes a unique stance on how the region promotes its tech landscape. Instead of simply demonstrating all of the opportunities and advancements the city already has, Columbus goes above and beyond. Their movements forward with growth show they are willing and ready to do what it takes to move to the next level. The city approaches the challenges that most metropolitan areas face and then strives to address and correct as many as possible in innovative ways. One of the largest issues identified in Columbus centered around mobility and transportation, something that the city recognizes ultimately hinders forward progress.

    With the realization that Columbus would greatly improve the challenges surrounding public and private transportation, an opportunity for multiple tech professionals to come together was born. The U.S. Department of Transportation launched a “Smart City Challenge,” allowing cities nationwide to invent ideas for smart transportation systems that would use data and tech to improve mobility. Out of all of the entries, Columbus earned the winning spot. With that win came a $50 million grant to turn the proposal into a reality. After the initial program ended, the city continued to invest and amplify its goals to work as a “collaborative innovation lab,” using city funds to integrate technology to address multiple societal challenges.

    Building beyond direct transportation solutions, startups such as Etch emerged with a geospatial solutions app. Their tool creates a multimodal transport application that helps users plan trips throughout central Ohio using buses, ride-hailing, carpools, micro-mobility, and personal vehicle tips. As recognition built around the infinite options to be a leader in transportation alone, other efforts have gone as far as to build media displays to integrate into urban landscapes. These physical interactive digital kiosks by IKE Smart City, which were placed around six key locations, had over 65,000 interactions from July 2020 to March 2021.

    Transportation is just one example of how Columbus approaches its creative publicly-traded culture to solve challenges and become a major metropolitan tech hub. Other major industries in Columbus that rely on technology to an advanced degree include healthcare. Examples range from Battelle Memorial Institute, a global research, and development organization, to Sarepta, a leader in gene therapy. Google, Amazon Web Services, and Facebook have all shown their support to healthy-living entities in Columbus by collectively investing billions in their data center campuses. Other impressive biomedical and health services demonstrating medical breakthroughs to cutting-edge technology, the area is home to one of the country’s most dynamic life science industries, with a fast-paced digital health ecosystem. The collective efforts of employers, universities, hospitals, products, and technologies are making collaboration and sharing of information easier than ever, supported by one of the top healthcare technology talent pools in the nation. Yet, the supply still doesn’t meet demand.

    Another strength evident in Columbus is in the advanced computing technology industry. The city has the infrastructure, including all of the higher-level connections the biggest names in technology need and demand. Datacenter development in Columbus is extremely attractive due to competitive rates of operational costs and as one of the nation’s best tax climates. With no tangible personal property tax in the state, qualifying data and advanced computing centers receive an exemption on sales and use tax for equipment and construction materials. The Columbus Region is home to over 50 data centers, including a large campus location for many corporate-owned facilities such as Big Lots, Vertiv Co., and Express Retail. Assets like the Ohio Supercomputer Center are located in the metropolitan area, providing supercomputing, cyberinfrastructure, research, and educational resources.

    ecommerce thrives in Columbus, which provides an ideal location for distribution and fulfillment operations centers. Within a one-day drive, companies can reach over 150 million people, which is 46% of the country’s population, demonstrating more reach than any other large U.S. metro area. In addition to being home to major anchors for FedEx, UPS, and DHL, many retail companies have distribution and fulfillment operations in Columbus. The Columbus region has more than 90,000 existing workers in transportation and logistics occupations. Because of its optimal location, specialized logistics and supply chain management programs mean a strong tech community within those areas.

    SmartAsset named Columbus the “Best City for Tech Workers,” based on five factors: the percentage of tech professions, average tech-related salaries, how salaries compared with those in other fields, availability of tech workers, and the overall cost of living.

All professionals with advanced skills in technology and business experience are in high demand as the need to implement and oversee computer-related activities within organizations grows every day with technological advances. As those who work with top executives, they help determine the company’s computing challenges and design a viable plan to meet those needs. With network and development systems advancing ever-faster, the demand for top tech talent is exacerbated by the continued rise of cloud computing operations. Columbus businesses know how important it is to scale their tech departments, and the growth rate for jobs in this area alone is 33%.

    Major employers in Columbus include PwC, Express, Nationwide Insurance, JPMorgan, Cardinal Health, and Huntington Bancshares, each looking for those in cutting-edge technology, especially cybersecurity, FinTech, and app development. The demand for all tech specialists, especially IT Project Managers, Network Engineers, Database Administrators, and UI/UX, consistently lead tech job boards. However, with an overall job growth rate in the city at 1.4%, slightly above the national average, doing business in any industry in Columbus means the need for tech excellence.

Activities locals love along this extensive path include the land on one end dedicated as a wetlands preserve and the water-sports area on the northern tip of the Greenway, Alum Creek.

    Around the state, some of the most notable achievements in the skies have roots in the area, so much so that Congress has declared the state the birthplace of aviation. Although the Wright brothers used another state for their test flight, their print and cycle shop combined with their airplane factory, the world’s first. From Dayton’s Aviation Heritage National Historical Park to NASA’s Glenn Research Center, there are plenty of ways to locate gravity-defying sites in Ohio.

    One of the cherished parts of Columbus is diversity. Different cultures come alive throughout more than twenty-five dedicated neighborhoods, each with options more affordable than the nation’s average.
