Indy Partnership

What Indy Partnership does

Indy Partnership is the regional economic development organization housed within the Indy Chamber, serving the 10-county Central Indiana region (Bartholomew, Boone, Hamilton, Hancock, Hendricks, Johnson, Madison, Marion, Morgan, and Shelby counties). Founded in 1983 and based in downtown Indianapolis, the organization functions as a one-stop shop for businesses, site consultants, real estate professionals, and investment firms evaluating the region, providing site selection support, demographic and economic data, and direct team engagement for business attraction, retention, and expansion decisions.

The product portfolio centers on two GIS-based core platforms, Data & Mapping and Property Search, which provide integrated property search, demographic insights, and economic analytics across available sites and buildings. These are complemented by service offerings in Regional Business Development, International Business Development (foreign direct investment and export support), and Talent Strategies, the last anchored by a proprietary Regional Skills Analysis. A sub-brand, Life in Indy, operates as a storytelling platform to support resident and talent attraction. The technology stack is conventional GIS web mapping rather than proprietary AI/ML systems.

Revenue mechanics are tied to Indy Chamber membership fees and organizational funding rather than transactional pricing. Outreach is sales-led, with the team proactively marketing the region to site consultants, real estate professionals, investment firms, and companies. The organization's most recent reported pipeline stands at 25 projects, $2.36B in associated capital investment, 2,367 jobs, and 8,840 net migration to the region. The leadership team comprises four individuals, including a Chief Economic Development Officer, a Research Manager, a Director of Business Recruitment, and a Director of Business Development.
