I got the chance to sit down with Matt Mindrum, President and CEO of the Indy Chamber. 

We discussed the economic performance and future initiatives of Central Indiana. 

Matt shares insights on how the region competes economically with the Midwest and the rest of the country, highlighting Central Indiana's achievements in GDP growth, net migration, job creation, and closing the racial earnings gap. 

The conversation covers the importance of workforce development, the role of small and mid-sized businesses, and new initiatives aiming to propel the region forward.

 They also discuss strategies to market Indianapolis as a destination for talent and business, revealing the ambitious goals and solid plans of the Indie Chamber to make Indiana a hub of fast-paced growth and innovation.

You are going to learn about:
-The importance of municipal branding and marketing
-Indy’s plan for workforce development and retention
