However, Indianapolis Economic Development has worked closely with City and State leadership to identify and recruit firms that fall into certain industry clusters. These targeted industries have been developed through a study involving the identification of local assets in each industry as well as an understanding of industry growth patterns for the coming years. Targeted industries include:

Life Sciences
With the nation’s 2nd largest medical school, remarkable growth in venture capital resources, and a host of industry assets like Eli Lilly, Roche Diagnostics, Guidant and Dow AgroSciences, Indianapolis is the ideal location for new and growing life sciences companies.
