IEEE Indiana Entrepreneurship Group
- Mission:
- Entrepreneurs Indiana is an IEEE Local Group dedicated to building a thriving entrepreneurial community across Central Indiana. Our mission is to connect engineers, technologists, product builders, and innovators who are starting, scaling, or supporting ventures — and to accelerate their growth through meaningful collaboration. We serve as a bridge between the technical talent of IEEE’s membership and Indiana’s rapidly growing startup ecosystem. Indianapolis hosted the Global Entrepreneurship Congress 2025, reinforcing the state’s momentum as a global innovation hub. We aim to channel that energy locally — bringing together founders at every stage, from idea to scale.
