Overview: The Hardtech Innovators Network, powered by the Indiana Economic Development Corporation, is designed to facilitate new connections between innovators within advanced manufacturing and logistics companies and hardtech entrepreneurs to create a thriving innovation economy.

Conexus Indiana and its partners aim to establish a connected community for hardtech entrepreneurs, engineers, makers, product and software developers, corporate innovators and intrapreneurs across the state. Indiana’s advanced manufacturing and logistics (AML) industries are the largest combined sectors in the state (providing over 30% of GDP and more than 500,000 jobs). Engagement with outside sources of innovation, such as entrepreneurs and startups, is vital to the health and vitality of our AML sectors.
