CICP

The most recent edition of The Economist features an interesting profile on Indiana during the downturn.  Notably for CICP, the piece mentions our BioCrossroads initiative as one catalyst accelerating the state’s transition to an innovation-based economy.

The article takes a fairly balanced look at our struggles and successes navigating the current economic turmoil, noting our failings in educational attainment but agreeing that although “every state wants to be a hub for life sciences, Indiana really is one.”  It also talks about diversity and growth in our advanced manufacturing sector, including record levels of foreign investment, putting us in a much better position than Michigan and other manufacturing centers.

Hope you have a moment to check it out before heading out to enjoy your weekend.
