Economic Development & Business Assistance

爱迪生生物技术研究所是俄亥俄大学一个更大的创业生态系统的一部分，旨在支持威廉希尔亚洲真人平台东南部的技术商业化和经济发展。

EBI为俄亥俄大学教师、地区企业家和20个县地区的公司提供生物科学商业和商业化援助，帮助公司启动，提供初始资本投入，并为公司获得额外的融资做好准备，以帮助他们向前发展。

EBI works closely with the university’s Technology Transfer Office and its small business incubator, the Innovation Center, to provide assistance as well as state-of-the art laboratory and office space for bioscience companies. This combination has attracted a number of early stage companies to the region.

Working in partnership with TechGROWTH Ohio, the regional Entrepreneurial Signature Program of the Ohio Third Frontier Commission, staff at EBI assist both faculty and non-university entrepreneurs with growing and funding technology-based regional start-up companies.

The Natural Products Research and Commercialization Center at EBI represents an initiative to proactively impact economic development in the region by linking the drug development capabilities of the university with manufacturing and agricultural resources in the region to create an infrastructure for discovery and commercialization of new plant-based therapies.
