PODCAST: Inside Ohio’s Vision to Become a Global AAM Hub with J.P. Nauseef of JobsOhio

Ohio is posi­tion­ing itself as a glob­al leader in advanced air mobil­i­ty (AAM) by build­ing on its rich aero­space her­itage, man­u­fac­tur­ing exper­tise, and col­lab­o­ra­tive inno­va­tion ecosys­tem.

In this episode, Job­sO­hio Pres­i­dent and CEO JP Nau­seef explains how the state offers a unique end-to-end envi­ron­ment where com­pa­nies can design, test, cer­ti­fy, man­u­fac­ture, and scale eVTOL air­craft with­in a sin­gle region.

He high­lights key assets includ­ing the Nation­al Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty Cen­ter of Excel­lence (NAAMCE), FAA-approved test air­space and the US Air Force Research Lab­o­ra­to­ry, (AFRL) and a net­work of more than 640 aero­space com­pa­nies. The dis­cus­sion also explores Ohio’s invest­ments in work­force devel­op­ment, infra­struc­ture, and indus­try part­ner­ships, includ­ing a $300 mil­lion expe­ri­en­tial learn­ing ini­tia­tive to train future tech­ni­cians.

Look­ing ahead, Nau­seef out­lines how sup­port­ive poli­cies, com­mer­cial deploy­ment, and con­tin­ued col­lab­o­ra­tion will help Ohio attract glob­al invest­ment while cre­at­ing high-val­ue jobs and shap­ing the future of avi­a­tion.
