Advancing a Catalytic State
The mission of BioCrossroads is to serve as a catalyst for the continued growth of Indiana’s robust life sciences industry. By doing so, we will create an environment that provides more economic opportunity and a thriving entrepreneurial network as well as better healthcare for our communities and inspiration for young talent. We implement our mission by connecting with corporate, academic and philanthropic partners; facilitating investments in promising start ups and building new enterprises; and educating through conferences, reports and market development knowledge.
SIMPLY INNOVATIVE
Indiana’s life sciences industry boasts statistics that rival coastal hubs of activity and has gained national recognition for leadership. BioCrossroads has seized an opportunity to do more with the state’s life sciences assets and bolsters tremendous growth to the sector by building unique collaborations, marketing its strengths, igniting a capital market, moving research from laboratory to the patient, and developing a one-of-a-kind institute to accelerate research and commercialization. The result? A vibrant and uniquely collaborative life sciences community that has consistently and dramatically increased its economic impact to the state –a $78 billion for 2017.
OUR IMPACT: THE NUMBERS
- 56,198 people employed 85%
- 1,689 companies working 90%
- 80 new products approved by the FDA 93%
- 944 patents granted to Indiana companies 88%
BioCrossroads has helped our strong life sciences foundation take root by driving Indiana’s existing strengths and emerging opportunities. Indiana’s life sciences industry is a leader with national rankings in the areas of exports, employment concentration, job growth and FDA filings. The magic combination of Indiana’s depth and breadth of life sciences resources together with BioCrossroads’ continuing ability to harness those assets into actionable outcomes has secured a strategy for Indiana’s economic future as well as for the health of its citizens and the rest of the world.
