Fast Company's annual list of innovative cities takes a look at Cleveland, which has struggled with population loss but emphasized its identity as a center for health care industries.

In 2002, they launched BioEnterprise, a unique accelerator that provides health-care startups with access to biomedical-specific expertise, world-class research, and cold, hard investment cash."
Locals are trying to revive the city's economy through innovative approaches to the biomedical industry. BioEnterprise is taking a venture capital approach to luring businesses into town.
