The Indy Partnership promotes a broad industry focus on the life sciences, highlighting the breadth and depth of world-class resources and companies in our Region. Key to our success is the collaborative relationship between industry, universities, and government which all unite in our BioCrossroads initiative. The Indy Partnership provides specialized assistance for life science companies seeking business location information about the Indianapolis Region, including expertise on tax incentives, real estate, networking with local businesses and universities, and data collection.

Indianapolis has been recognized as an emerging cluster in the life sciences and we would appreciate the opportunity to tell you more.

The Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC) is the State of Indiana's lead economic development agency. IEDC was officially established in February 2005 to replace the former Department of Commerce. In order to respond quickly to the needs of businesses, IEDC operates like a business. In an effort to provide businesses with the most complete range of services, state economic development agencies that were previously separate from the Department of Commerce have been incorporated into the IEDC organizational structure. With its new structure and improved tool-kit resulting from a successful legislative effort undertaken by the Governor and the Indiana General Assembly during the 2005 legislative session, the IEDC is equipped and ready to make Indiana competitive in the 21st Century economy.
