Team NEO’s role is to see the big picture – to align and amplify the economic development work happening locally towards a shared goal: creating jobs and building prosperity for everyone in our communities.

Team NEO provides big metropolitan areas, small towns, and economic development organizations data-driven insights, marketing assets, and more to make them more competitive in attracting and growing business. And, as the designated JobsOhio Network Partner for Northeast Ohio, Team NEO provides open communication and a connection to state-level resources.


NODE: Our Regional Economic Development Exchange

The Northeast Ohio Development Exchange (NODE) is an opportunity for public and private sector economic developers, public officials, collaborators, and leaders across industries in Ohio to meet on a regular basis. The Exchange is used to develop solid working relationships and share best practices while learning about assets in the region that can benefit the communities we represent.

In addition to gathering monthly in Brecksville, Ohio, the group travels on a quarterly basis to different sites throughout the region. Additional programming during the year, such as webinars and special events, are conducted.
