An international economic development journal has ranked Daytons Ohio Aerospace Hub website among the worlds top economic development websites for 2012.

The publication fDi Intelligence, a unit of the London-based Financial Times Group, specializes in foreign direct investment and the business of globalization.

The Ohio Aerospace Hubs website, created by Atomic Interactive, a Dayton-based web design firm, tied for 12th internationally in digital marketing among economic development websites and placed third among economic zone websites, which serve special areas targeted for development within a city, state or country. Another Ohio website that scored high was the Columbus Region, which came in at No. 2 in the website rankings just behind an Irish site.

This is a great acknowledgement of the hard work we are doing as a community to promote Dayton as a place for aerospace companies to be, said Keith Klein, senior development specialist with the city of Dayton.

The Ohio Aerospace Hub was designated by the state as a location for aerospace research and innovation. Hub partners include the city of Dayton, the University of Dayton, CityWide Development Corp. and the Dayton Development Coalition.

In October, commercial jet manufacturer Airbus said it wants to double the $12 billion it spends each year in the U.S. on aircraft components and signed an agreement with local officials that could establish a manufacturing training center in the Dayton area.
