Being Bold
What does it mean to be a global leader in innovation and entrepreneurship?
It means focusing on people and the culture that supports their growth. It means fostering ideas and the ecosystem that helps them thrive. And it means attracting the money needed to help our people turn those ideas into reality.
- People will find additional resources throughout Indiana to innovate, starting in schools and spanning through all stages of business development.
- Ideas will grow with the support of universities, mentors, small business coaching and industry-led partnerships.
- Money will flow in to support Hoosier-led startup and scale-up enterprises, and venture capitalists will find additional resources to inspire them to invest their dollars here.
