Accelerate Indy 2030

One Region. One Vision.

The Indy region is the beating heart of Indiana’s economy and a leader in the Midwest —an engine gaining speed. While parts of the Midwest face stagnation, Indy’s skyline, livability rankings, and global sports moments all signal forward motion and ambition. Still, the nation’s top metros are moving even faster. To compete, Indy must accelerate — strengthening economic growth, expanding talent pathways, and amplifying the story of our momentum.

Love Indy. Dream Big. Move Together.

Connect Talent to Opportunity

Growth starts with people. To secure the region’s future, Indy must retain more graduates, strengthen its workforce, and attract new residents ready to lead tomorrow’s economy. Indy Chamber and its partners will connect education, employers, and opportunity — expanding apprenticeships, advancing career-aligned training, supporting graduate retention, and driving targeted attraction efforts that build a skilled and growing workforce.
