Growth Starts with Bloomington Tech

Bloomington Tech is fostering innovation and growth across the local tech sector. Our forward-thinking mission of technological advancement and nearby tech education giants Indiana University and Ivy Tech support a thriving tech industry.  

Bloomington, Ellettsville, and Monroe County pose a unique advantage to tech entrepreneurs and established tech companies alike: a location in I-69’s growing Innovation Corridor. With a location less than an hour from Indianapolis and Indianapolis International Airport, four hours from tech metros like Chicago, St. Louis, Cincinnati, and Nashville, TN, and only a day’s drive to 80% of the U.S. population, startups and businesses who choose to relocate or expand here are positioned for optimal growth.  

Businesses from a variety of industries find success in Monroe County, but key sectors like technology, advanced manufacturing, microchips, semiconductors, and defense stand to advance quickly here. Tech professionals in our Innovation Corridor joined forces to secure an investment from the federal CHIPS and Science Act in 2022, establishing our region as an emerging hub for microchip and semiconductor manufacturing.  

Bloomington Tech’s mission to attract tech entrepreneurs and retain and grow current tech businesses is complemented by the region’s natural inclination to technological growth. Our collaboration with local community leaders, partnerships with educational facilities like Ivy Tech Community College and a leading research university-Indiana University, and support from other existing industries drive new and established businesses not only to success, but to prosperity.
