Sustainable Energy Community Conversation: Jordan Davis, Smart Columbus

Jordan Davis is an alum of Ohio State and is now the Executive Director of Smart Columbus. Jordan can speak to her experience at Smart Columbus, the transition from the funding, and what it takes to make a lasting impact on an established urban setting!

Smart Columbus is an agile, collaborative innovation lab that serves the Columbus Region by anticipating and advancing what is new and next at the intersection of technology and community good. Through the Smart City Challenge, Columbus has deployed the most comprehensive portfolio of emerging mobility technologies of any city in five years—and did it with the prosperity of Columbus' residents in mind. Smart Columbus has shown how safer, cleaner and more equitable transportation options can create opportunities for Columbus residents and prepare the region for the future. Climate change and rising inequities show us that there is still much more to do. Smart Columbus will explore how mobility innovation, climate technologies, digitalization and other emerging technologies can help address complex societal problems, respond to disruption and generate economic opportunity.
