1) "
JobsOhio has officially launched its much-anticipated $250 million Ohio Site Inventory Program
(OSIP). The goal of OSIP is to provide targeted funding to have
more shovel-ready sites and buildings in its statewide portfolio.
This expanded portfolio will include office, R&D, and manufacturing buildings as well as suitable sites in rural, suburban and urban communities around the state."
The OSIP will make it easier for companies from Greater China to establish businesses in Ohio.
2) "The Ohio Department of Transportation has released a
study
outlining a statewide strategy to build the electrical vehicle (EV) infrastructure (i.e. charging stations) Ohio will need in the coming decades as EVs become increasingly common."
Be sure to attend "Mobility 2.0: The Quest for Supremacy" to see where Ohio stacks up globally.

7/22/20 Cross-Cultural Communication in Creative Work
Online Panel followed by Virtual Networking
|
When you make a film for audiences in two countries, how do you maintain the message the writers and director had in mind? When a bi-cultural team creates a single work, how does that work speak to different audiences? How does the camera lens reflect what is important to the photographer and his/her intended audience?
The successful communication of intention is important in all human endeavors; this look at how people convey meaning in cross-cultural creative contexts will be useful to people of all professions.
Our panel of experts:
Catherine Stuer
, Professor of Art History and Visual Culture, Denison University
Tom Gattis
, Dean of Undergraduate Studies, Columbus College of Art & Design
Hank Abbott
, Associate Director, Creative Affairs, Pearl Studio
The event will be followed by 30 minutes of virtual breakout rooms for small-group networking and opportunity sharing. All are welcome to stay for this useful activity.
