The Northeast Ohio business community has a tremendous advocate in the Greater Cleveland Partnership and its small business partner—COSE. With our network of partners, we speak with one voice when it comes to what is best for business, the economy and job creation in the region. This enables us to communicate the business community’s strategic priorities to elected officials and public-sector leaders to help them marshal the resources needed to meet current challenges and improve the long-term outlook of the region’s economy.
