Research technology company Digital Science has embarked on a project with the Ohio Department of Higher Education to work in partnership with the Ohio Technology Consortium (OH-TECH) to highlight Ohio's biomedical and engineering faculty and to showcase Ohio's campus facilities and equipment critical to the innovation process. Named the Ohio Innovation Exchange (OIEx), the new research expertise portal will support inter-institutional collaborations, enhance connections with industry, and further assist technology commercialisation across the state of Ohio.
The Ohio Innovation Exchange is a new initiative developed with six university partners: Case Western Reserve University, Ohio University, The Ohio State University, Cleveland State University, The University of Akron, and the University of Cincinnati - with sponsorship from the Ohio Department of Higher Education and accompanied by strong industry support through the Ohio Manufacturing Institute.
The innovative knowledge management framework will ultimately provide users with interactive tools to connect faculty, staff, and students with industry partners in new information-driven ways. The portal will help business gain access to high-end equipment, allow industry to tap into the next generation of employees, forge and seed new R&D partnerships, strengthen the supply chain, and ultimately stimulate job opportunities across Ohio.
This intuitive and innovative technology platform provided by Digital Science leverages a combination of off-the-shelf products designed to increase visibility and raise the awareness of research. It will serve multiple audiences and make use of: Dimensions and Symplectic Elements.
The Ohio Technology Consortium (OH-TECH) acts as the broker for institutional asset data, provides leadership for the project, and supports the ingest of critical and relevant data from Ohio’s institutions while supporting the secure user profiles.
The new platform will be available in September 2018.
