Partnerships that drive progress

This isn't business as usual. Indiana University is rewriting the playbook on partnerships between higher education and industry. We’re working together to strengthen the state’s talent pipeline, fuel economic growth, and meet our most pressing challenges head-on. IU and Hoosier industries are united in solving tomorrow’s problems today.

By doing these types of partnerships across the state, we’ll be able to accelerate the pace and decrease the cost of discovery. In the end, everybody will benefit.
