HUBX 2026

The Hub Exchange (HUBX) marks the Youngstown Innovation Hub’s inaugural gathering, designed to showcase Northeast Ohio’s leadership in aerospace and defense manufacturing. This signature event brings together industry innovators, government and economic development leaders, and academic partners for high‑level conversation, technical insight, and collaborative exploration.

HUBX features dynamic keynote speakers, panelists, and technical teams sharing outcomes from their funded technology development projects. The event offers an annual review of achievements, project outcomes, and the growing ecosystem of resources dedicated to accelerating technology maturation and sets the stage for what comes next.
