SIC 384 & 339 back to Core Industries
Life sciences are everywhere. Our region is particularly strong in this field. The Biotechnology Industry Organization and the Battelle Memorial Institute in their 2006 report defined Indiana as one of the top four life science leaders. Standard and Poors reported that in 2005 there were investments worth $214 million made by life science companies creating 2,200 new jobs in Indiana.
So why choose NE Indiana for starting or expanding your business in this industry here?
Because, we have and continue to create and foster the climate for growth in this arena. We have the leaders of the orthopedics industry to our west, we have excellent facilities to help emerging companies such as the Northeast Indiana Innovation Center, and just as importantly we have university commitment and an emerging venture capital community ready to invest. The Corporation for Enterprise Development ranks Indiana 4th highest state in venture capital percentage gains from 1999-2004. A good deal of this is from life science and medical devices.
