Indiana’s life sciences and healthcare sectors are growing, evolving, and competing for many of the same skills. Sustaining that momentum will require stronger connections among the employers creating jobs, the educators and workforce organizations preparing talent, and the Hoosiers looking for a way into these careers.

Join BioCrossroads on Thursday, December 3, for FrameWORX: Advancing Indiana’s Life Sciences and Healthcare Workforce. This program will bring together employers, educators, workforce partners, and community leaders for a practical conversation about the talent needed to support continued growth across both sectors.

The discussion will examine where demand is changing, which roles and skills are becoming more important, and how education and training pathways can respond. Speakers will also explore what is already working across Indiana, where gaps remain, and how stronger alignment can help employers reach qualified talent while connecting more Hoosiers to high-opportunity careers.

The program will be followed by networking with leaders working across Indiana’s life sciences, healthcare, education, and workforce communities.

Medical Devices in Indiana and Igniting the Next Wave of Growth

Indiana has long been a national leader in medical devices, with deep strengths across diagnostics, minimally invasive technologies, implantables, and orthopedics. But as other regions move faster to attract expansion, investment, talent, and innovation, Indiana’s competitive edge requires renewed focus.

This FrameWORX program will bring together medical device manufacturers, life sciences leaders, startups, academic partners, workforce experts, and economic development leaders to explore what it will take to accelerate the next wave of growth in Indiana.

Through site tours, keynote remarks, panel discussions, and networking, attendees will examine where Indiana leads today, where the state risks losing ground, and what industry, academic, and community partners can do together to strengthen Indiana’s position as a global medtech leader.

Thank you to our sponsors for their generous support.
