5 Major Tech Companies in Columbus, Ohio

With Intel breaking ground in suburban Columbus, we’re taking stock of tech giants with a presence in the area. 

You won’t always find a lot of their employees here. Instead, a lot of the big names are investing in Columbus to support the digital economy with data centers and computer chip manufacturing. The Columbus area is rapidly growing as a tech hub, and the metro area is home to over 50 data centers, including large campuses for Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud and Facebook.

For what they lack in desk jobs, they make up for in sheer investment—and they’re expanding.
