Columbus, Ohio, October 20, 2026 – Buckeye Innovation, a New Albany-based strategic technology partner for purpose-driven organizations, has been named a 2026 Inc. Power Partner Awards winner, recognizing the company among the leading B2B partners supporting entrepreneurs and businesses across the country.
The annual Inc. Power Partner Awards honor B2B companies that have demonstrated a track record of helping entrepreneurs and businesses navigate the challenges of building and growing a company. From hiring and compliance to technology, infrastructure, fundraising, marketing, and more, these partners provide expertise and services that enable businesses to operate, scale, and pursue their ambitions.
“Business owners have no shortage of tools at their disposal, and B2B companies need to make clear why their products and services are worth the investment,” says Bonny Ghosh, editorial director at Inc. “The companies on this year’s Power Partners list have done just that. They don’t just have customers – they have superfans and evangelists. Across industries like marketing, financial services, and technology, they’ve proved their dedication to helping fellow business owners grow and succeed.”
“Our clients are doing important work that inspires us. We’re proud to help them use technology to extend their reach and make an even greater impact,” said Brad Griffith, President of Buckeye Innovation. “That means understanding their goals, helping them make smart tech decisions, and supporting them as their needs evolve. That is the kind of partner we’ve always worked to be, and it’s especially meaningful to be recognized for it. We are thankful to our clients for the trust they place in us and the opportunity to support the work they do.”
