Central Indiana is one of the nation's premier life sciences hubs, with the second-highest concentration of biopharmaceutical jobs in the U.S. Excellent research universities also provide the intellectual fuel for entrepreneurial growth, supporting global leaders like Eli Lilly, Dow AgroSciences, and Cook Group that are already headquartered here.

In 2002, CICP co-founded the BioCrossroads life sciences initiative, which has raised more than $150 million in dedicated venture capital for promising biotech start-ups and helped 250+ life sciences companies grow and succeed in the region, as well as focusing on science education and other issues critical to the sector.
