On Tuesday, Governor Mike Braun announced a significant, long‑term investment aimed at strengthening Indiana’s agricultural and life sciences landscape. The initiative seeks to generate 100,000 high‑wage jobs over the next decade while positioning the state as the nation’s leading hub where human therapeutics, animal health, agritech, biotechnology and environmental innovation converge through a robust private‑sector pipeline.
Supported by top-tier U.S. companies, renowned research institutions, competitive incentives and a USDA facility propelling the effort forward, Indiana is emerging as the epicenter for reshoring and expansion. It is poised to become the place where American enterprise not only creates 100,000 jobs, but also builds a nationally recognized reputation among the country’s most prominent innovation corridors.
Our President and CEO Vanessa Green Sinders comments:
“Indiana’s continued prosperity depends on creating an environment in which employers can grow and people can build careers. Governor Braun recognizes this, and the state’s new investment in agriculture and life sciences advances sends a clear signal that Indiana is serious about competing for – and winning – the race for talent attraction and the next generation of private-sector growth.”
