As part of efforts to be a regional force in technology-related growth, Dublin has partnered with Tech Columbus to establish the Dublin Entrepreneurial Center (DEC). Located at 7003 Post Road, the DEC has been home to over 50 new companies and serves as a successful example of how municipal commitments can help to grow local companies and entrepreneurial ideas. Since its inception, the DEC has won awards from the International Economic Development Council (IEDC) for the collaborative approach between the City of Dublin, Tech Columbus and participating businesses and organizations that is making the Center a success. This important element is one part of much larger plans to foster development opportunities that will meet the needs of all kinds of business, from start-up ideas and growing companies to the largest global corporations.
