Innovation & Entrepreneurship

Our Business Development Center serves as a community partner and advocate to help downtown’s entrepreneurs, start-ups and investors. We support the startup community and downtown co-working spaces through tactical marketing and strategic business development efforts.

Downtown Cleveland offers multiple fiber optic services for businesses and residents, including AT&T Giga Power and Downtown Cleveland-based Everstream. The Cleveland Clinic and HIMSS anchored Global Center for Health Innovation brings together entrepreneurs, investors, and world leaders in medical technology under a single roof is home to BioEnterprise and Plug and Play. Plug and Play is a Silicon-Valley based startup accelerator that specializes in assisting health related companies. Their movement to the Global Center indicates that companies are recognizing Downtown as a creative place for medical innovators to gather outside of Cleveland’s traditional medical campuses.
