The O.H.I.O. Fund has launched Ohio 4.0, a statewide campaign framing the state’s manufacturing roots as its greatest asset in the age of physical AI. The initiative argues Ohio is positioned to lead the nation’s next economic era as supply chains reshore.
The campaign, called Ohio 4.0, went live July 1 with billboards and digital ads across the Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Dayton, Akron and Toledo markets, directing viewers to a landing page and launch video at Ohio4-0.com. It arrives alongside a June McKinsey & Company report, “The Future of Ohio: Playing to Win in the Next Economy,” which concludes that fewer than 10 states are positioned to capture the next decade of U.S. growth.
