Indiana’s defense innovation prowess comes from a triad of strengths including a robust workforce, technological advances and economic support. Apart from its ideal location to industrial assets, Indiana can tap into a flourishing workforce where one in five Indiana residents work in advanced manufacturing. It’s the only state in the nation with a warfare center online with the state’s universities and the capability of real-time collaboration. All of this combined with a balanced state budget, lower taxes and a business-friendly regulatory environment gives Indiana a winning edge in defense.
