Accelerate Indy for All

Over the last five years, the Indy Chamber spearheaded the first iteration of Accelerate Indy, a strategy that helped advance the Indy region as the top market in the Midwest. The second phase of Accelerate Indy will enable us to remain competitive and ultimately, surpass our peer markets of Charlotte, Columbus (OH), Denver, and Nashville. Regional collaboration is critical to advancing ourselves, our businesses, our communities, and the nine-county region, and will be approached through a framework of four pillars: talent, image, business, and place.

Accelerate the Indy region as the premier destination for talent and opportunity for all.
