The $1 billion investment aims to create 100,000 high-wage jobs and establish Indiana as a leading U.S. hub for biotech, agritech, and life sciences innovation.

  • Monday's announcement said the state will invest $1 billion to create 100,000 high-wage jobs in Indiana's life sciences and agriculture sectors.
  • To accelerate growth, state officials said the plan aims to boost jobs and wages while expanding human therapeutics, animal health, agritech, biotechnology and environmental innovation in the life sciences and agricultural sectors.
  • Braun designated the Central Indiana Regional Development Authority to lead the effort anchored by Eli Lilly and Company, Elanco Animal Health, Corteva Agriscience, Roche, Novartis, Cook Medical, Purdue University, and Indiana University.
  • The $1 billion state commitment will be tied to measured outcomes to ensure accountability and a long-term return on investment, according to the news release.
