Website updated to reflect name and structure

Our website has been updated to reflect our new office name - the Office of Innovation and Economic Development (OIED) - part of Ohio State's Enterprise for Research, Innovation and Knowledge (ERIK).  ERIK has been formed under the leadership of Executive Vice President Grace Wang and brings together research and innovation to increase collaboration and synergy while also identifying and engaging with key strategic stakeholders including industry, entrepreneurial and venture capitalist communities, nonprofit institutions, government and national labs to support Ohio State’s innovation goals. The unit will also focus on the development of the Innovation District on Ohio State’s West Campus.

Formerly known as the Corporate Engagement Office, OIED will continue to work to advance innovation and technology commercialization, manage intellectual property, build corporate partnerships, stimulate entrepreneurial and startup activities (through the Keenan Center for Entrepreneurship) and support the region’s economic development efforts.
