Columbus
is America
An accessible, front-row seat to American politics, government, economy, and culture.
A microcosm of the United States, Columbus mirrors the nation’s population, economy, and demographic makeup. As the capital of Ohio, a state with nearly 12 million residents and a GDP that ranks among the largest in the world, Columbus sits at the intersection of America’s economy, industry, and politics.
Columbus is an emerging leader in sectors such as finance, healthcare, logistics, and technology. While at the same time maintaining its roots as a leading manufacturing and agriculture center.
Columbus also houses The Ohio State University, one of the country’s largest public research institutions, shaping the next generation of leaders and driving innovation in public policy and industry. As the seat of state government in a politically pivotal state, Columbus offers insights into the workings of American democracy at both the local, state and national levels.
And perhaps most importantly, Columbus, with its Midwest hospitality and charm offers an accessible window into the economic, political, and cultural forces that define the United States.
