Description

Join us for the 2023 Q1 Event: Innovation & Digital Transformation with guest speaker, Mitch Landess, Vice President of Innovation and Digital Transformation at CONEXUS Indiana. At Conexus Indiana, Mitch uses that experience to develop pathways to digital transformation for advanced manufacturing and logistics firms.

Indiana has the highest concentration of manufacturing jobs in the nation, employing more than 520,000 Hoosiers and accounting for 26% of the state’s economic output. Strengthening this manufacturing advantage and growing our global footprint is at the heart of Conexus Indiana’s mission. And right now, we are at an important inflection point, faced with the realities of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the digital technologies that will redefine how we make and move products and services. How has Industry 4.0 impacted manufacturers – especially the thousands of small- to mid-sized manufacturers that make up more than 80% of Indiana’s manufacturing base – and how are Conexus Indiana and the Indiana Economic Development Corporation helping companies navigate in this new economic environment? Learn about the tools, programs and funding available today to Indiana manufacturers and how you can leverage these resources for continued business growth.
