In 2002, the State of Ohio launched the Third Frontier Project, which represents the state's largest-ever commitment to expanding its high-tech research capabilities and promoting innovation and company formation to create high paying jobs for generations to come.
The 10-year, $1.1 billion initiative is designed to build world-class research facilities, support early stage capital formation, and the development of new products and finance advanced manufacturing technologies to help existing industries become more productive.
The Third Frontier Project is led by a commission comprised of the Ohio Director of Development, the Chancellor of the Ohio Board of Regents and the Science and Technology Advisor to the Governor.
The commission is assisted by a 16-member advisory board comprised of leaders from industry, academia and government.
Keenly aware of the advantages for Ohio in the development of intellectual properties such as those of L-3 CE, Renaud emphasised the State's commitment to ensuring that "research is shared and efforts are continued jointly among Ohio's universities, corporations and government agencies".
