And I would be remiss not to mention this initiative. Members overlap with Battelle and the Columbus Partnership. ππ»The Ohio-Israel Ag & CleanTech Initiative (OIACI) facilitates the exchange of innovative ideas, products, and professional opportunities in agriculture, food, and Water β CleanTech between Ohio and Israel to improve resource and economic security for both regions. https://ohioisrael.org/

I did not take the time to connect the #OhioGate players to the above. Wexner stood out immediately but I would venture to guess there are many connections, there always are. They are all "in bed" together figuratively and most likely literally. I just keep checking the list and watching the news. It is a big web and it goes much deeper and much farther back in time. That is for another thread. Enjoy! β¨π«π
