Third Frontier

Third Frontier

The Third Frontier Project is a type of economic development initiative by the State of Ohio to expand research and technology economic development in the state. Initiated in 2002, the Third Frontier Commission executes the ten year, $1.6 billion project through a long list of programs, and the Third Frontier Advisory Board advises the Commission.

Goals of the Project include:
* Build world-class research capacity
* Support early stage capital formation and the development of new products
* Finance advanced manufacturing technologies to help existing industries become more productive

Third Frontier Commission plans to achieve its goals as a tech incubator, through financial support of new products and firms in targeted business clusters in the earliest stages (seed financing or earlier) of development. Through the Third Frontier Project, additional federal and private sector support can boost the total investment to more than $6 billion. [ [http://www.thirdfrontier.com/] ]
