Indiana WIRED is constantly working on new ideas for transformation. This space is used to provide early glimpses into those ideas. If you want to lend your creativity to helping shape one of the ideas below, drop an email to the contact person listed. They can tell you how to can join the conversation.

Energy Systems

The North Central Indiana region has a lot of assets related to energy solutions that reduce reliance on fossil fuels - more efficient use of energy for manufacturers, alternative fuels, innovations in the design and production of engines, motors, batteries, and power electronics. How can we fit all of this together in a comprehensive energy systems strategy? How do we encourage entrepreneurship in this area? How do we make sure we have a workforce with the right skills? These are some of the questions being asked in this Idea in Progress. If you want to join in on this conversation, contact Scott Hutcheson.

Regional Alignment

The federal government, state government, and many institutions carve up the state differently. How do we achieve synergy in defining our needs, and taking advantage of opportunities, when the lines on the map are so misaligned. If you want to join in on this conversation, contact Scott Hutcheson.
