<p>Northeast Ohio is anchored by Cleveland with the subsidiary major metros of Akron-Canton and Youngstown. The region has become a global hub for biomedical business and one of the world&rsquo;s foremost research locations. Home to the Cleveland Clinic, the region&#39;s bioscience industry is growing on average by 7.4% annually and today is home to more than 600 biomedical businesses. Other strengths of the region lie in advanced manufacturing, polymers and aerospace. Cleveland itself is home to three professional sports teams -- The Cleveland Cavaliers, The Cleveland Browns, and The Cleveland Indians -- and the Northeast Ohio region also has numerous arts and history museums, including the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. For more information on the region, please click on the following link:</p>

<p>In May 2008, Ohio Governor Ted Strickland signed into law an Advanced Energy Portfolio Standard (AEPS) that requires at least 25% of new electricity sold in Ohio to be generated from advanced energy technology by 2025 - with a minimum of 12.5% from renewable energy resources. The AEPS has helped create thousands of jobs and enabled growth of the advanced and renewable energy industry which encompasses solar, wind, biomass, fuel cells, hydroelectricity. Ohio companies such as First Solar and Xunlight have developed into world leaders in$B!!(Bthe solar industry, and the state has utilized its strong manufacturing base to become a leading supplier for the US wind$B!!(Bindustry.</p>
