The Next Phase of Accelerate Indy

Accelerate Indy is the Indy Chamber regional economic development strategy.

Accelerate Indy has provided a strategic framework to guide the Indy Chamber’s regional economic development activity since 2015. As the regional economy emerges from the disruption of a global pandemic, the Indy Chamber is defining the next phase of work supporting economic competitiveness that prioritizes growing an inclusive economy, uniting the region, and telling our story

From April – August 2021, our strategic planning process will define key priorities for the Indy Chamber as we work to advance regional competitiveness, attract new corporate investment, aid business growth, and support entrepreneurial endeavors.

 

We are focused on dynamic growth.

Out of the Accelerate Indy plan, four pillars have emerged that will guide our efforts in making the Indy region a dynamic region full of growth. These priorities define Accelerate Indy, and define our future success.

We've been here before.

Accelerate Indy rethinks economic development with an ambitious agenda…but we’ve never shied away from big plans.

Pillars

Tactics outlined throughout the Accelerate Indy plan provide a framework by which the Indy region can realize opportunities and utilize existing assets in order to inclusively meet the needs of current residents and companies, while boosting the region’s image through unified marketing and quality and connected places.

Educated & Talented Workers

The Indy region can and must work to implement strategies aimed at keeping, attracting and developing talent.

Innovative & Enterprising Business

Innovators and small business owners of all shapes and sizes are finding opportunities to utilize the growing entrepreneurial support network to launch and expand their businesses.

Attractive & Connected Places

To be truly successful in attracting and retaining top talent, the Indy region must create places where educated workers want to live, and their employers want to do business.

Vibrant & Inviting Image

Identifying and projecting a distinct, positive image is a crucial part of the region’s continued evolution as a globally competitive metropolitan area.

We move faster by moving together.

Regional cooperation and partnerships among our major civic and business groups are already helping us be more effective and efficient.  The work we are doing would not be possible without the support of our Accelerate Indy investors.

This is our moment.

Today, nine of every ten Americans live in a metropolitan area, and the largest regions are leading the economy.

In some ways, we’re lapping our metro peers. In other areas, we’re stuck in neutral. But what we do today will determine our pace of economic progress for years – decades – to come.
