There are many benefits of being a client company at the Business Technology
Center. These benefits are designed to help clients grow their businesses
and to support their entrepreneurial pursuits.
Close Proximity to The Ohio State University
The Ohio State University (OSU) supports the BTC’s mission and plays
an integral role in the development of Central Ohio’s technology
infrastructure. The BTC is located on the edge of OSU’s West Campus,
in the Science and Technology Campus, providing easy access to the university.
OSU provides a great resource of knowledge and technical expertise with
a world-class faculty, facilities and energetic students. The BTC is an
organization with an established relationship with OSU, which enables
us to make connections within the university to benefit our clients.
Advisory Assistance
The BTC can assist client companies with identifying appropriate advisors.
Business advisors augment the management skills of your start-up team.
Their advice and counsel can bridge gaps in business knowledge and experience
or help uncover alternative strategies and solve problems. For these reasons,
the BTC requires you to establish and maintain an advisory board. The
BTC will initially provide an advisor candidate who is a member of the
BTC’s Board of Trustees, Client Development Committee, Business
Development Office, Capital Access Office, Information Technology Office
or Omeris formerly known as the Edison BioTechnology Center (EBTC). The
BTC, along with this advisor, will work with you to profile, identify,
recruit and select members of your advisor board.
Access to Columbus’ Technology Development Infrastructure
The BTC has a broad base of partner and affiliate organizations. This
provides an important network for BTC clients. Various partners and/or
affiliates also provide educational opportunities.
