Leaders say the event was about celebrating all of the things that make Ohio the heart of it all and whether you’re visiting the Buckeye State for the first time or looking to start a business, leaders say it is the place to be.

“No matter where they choose to live in the state of Ohio, they’re going to be close to a state park. They’re going to be close to great, great culture, great major league sports, great zoos, great art museums, and great theater,” DeWine said. “And we can just go on and on and it doesn’t matter where you live.”

The Ohio Department of Development has created a virtual 2024 summer events guide which features over 400 events. Click here to check out the virtual guide.

Saudi Arabia-based Simplified Financial Solutions Company (SiFi), one such spend management platform in the MENA region, has now raised $10 million in a seed funding round to double down on its growth plans in its home market.

Swiss startup Neural Concept raises $27M to cut EV design time to 18 months
As pressure from Chinese competitors intensifies and the EV market stalls, major U.S. and European auto manufacturers are racing to cut the cost of producing electric vehicles so they can get to the price tags and profit margins of ICE cars. Now, a company spun out from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL), has raised $27 million in a Series B funding round to apply AI to solve that exact pain point. The company says it uses deep learning in a 3D environment, and combines data analysis with machine learning to speed up development times by up to 75% and product simulation by as much as 10 times.
