Connecting Innovation & Application: Welcome to Indiana’s Technology Corridor
Amazing things happen in places where the education and business communities join forces. The global economy has been propelled by areas like Silicon Valley, where radically new concepts are transformed into practical everyday uses.
That’s what you’ll find in Indiana’s Technology Corridor. Centered upon the advanced technology being created in labs at Purdue University and Indiana University, powered by highly skilled training from Ivy Tech Community College, and inspired by a long tradition of individual initiative, this region is shaping the nation’s future.
Incorporating nine counties — Benton, Carroll, Cass, Clinton, Fountain, Montgomery, Tippecanoe, Warren, and White — Indiana’s Technology Corridor combines leading- edge research and innovation with an enduring entrepreneurial spirit, abundant natural resources, and a surprising variety of lifestyles.
