Ohio's first innovation district is now home to a Swedish consulting firm.
The Cincinnati Innovation District, a partnership between Ohio, JobsOhio, the University of Cincinnati, and Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, says BTS, which specializes in strategy and digital transformation, will move its US headquarters from Stockholm to the district's 1819 Innovation Hub, the New York Times reports.
"As the nerve center of the CID, the 1819 Innovation Hub is a place where students, researchers, and businesspeople collaborate on inspired solutions," says UC Executive Vice President and Chief Innovation and Strategy Officer Ryan Hays.
"We are excited to have a progressive company like BTS contributing to the innovative culture we are creating here," he says.
BTS will use the hub to host field immersions for clients, coordinate learning programs for 1819 partners, and work with faculty and students on interdisciplinary projects, per a press release.
Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, Fifth Third Bank, and Procter & Gamble are also among the district's corporate partners.
