Summary

Rebuilding high-tech American manufacturing is back in vogue, and with good reason. The United States is falling behind China in a growing set of strategic industries, particularly in manufacturing. 

The state of Ohio is playing a key role in America’s drive to reassert technological supremacy across a range of industries, from semiconductors to drones. 

With support from JobsOhio, our new report, Silicon Heartland: The Evolution of Ohio’s High-Tech Workforce, analyzes the state’s workforce pipelines and makes recommendations to take full advantage of a new generation of industrial policy. 

The Midwest has a long history of developing innovative, practical models for high-tech talent development. Ohio and the broader region will need to draw on that tradition to revitalize high-tech manufacturing.
