As we look to the future, we focus on our strengths as a state and how we can continue to innovate.

NEWS: Today we released our Indiana Prosperity 2035 Report Card. Out of 49 metrics, Indiana ranks in the top 10 states nationwide seven times and in the bottom ten states 13 times.

Indiana’s highest state ranking in this report card is third, which the state earned for having 11% of its labor force working in a “knowledge- and technology-intensive industry” such as manufacturing, pharmaceuticals or software development.

Three other bright spots for Indiana are its generally attractive business climate (eighth best nationally), minority entrepreneurship (fourth best) and the uptick in the number of design patents issued to Hoosier applicants. Regarding the latter: Between 2018 and 2020, there was a 29% increase in design patents issued compared to 2016-2018, which was ninth best among all states.
