A TOP REGION FOR LIFE SCIENCES ACTIVITY
Indiana is one of the top regions in the U.S. for life sciences activity. It boasts statistics that rival coastal hubs of activity and has gained national recognition for leadership in the life sciences. BioCrossroads has seized an opportunity to do more with the state’s life sciences corporate and academic assets and bolster tremendous growth to the sector by building unique collaborations, marketing its strengths, igniting a capital market, moving research from laboratory to the patient, and developing a one-of-a-kind institute to accelerate research and commercialization.
ECONOMIC IMPACT
The result is a vibrant and uniquely collaborative state-wide life sciences community with a $77 billion economic impact. The magic combination of Indiana’s depth and breadth of life sciences resources together with BioCrossroads’ ability to harness those assets into actionable outcomes like the organization of venture funds, the Indiana Biosciences Research Institute development, and the generation of other unique private-public partnerships is unprecedented.
