The Indiana Chamber of Commerce has released an updated version of its long-term economic development strategy, narrowing its focus to 18 priority goals aimed at strengthening the state’s competitiveness over the next decade.
Updated Plan
The Summer 2026 update to Indiana Prosperity 2035, known as IP35, builds on the statewide vision first introduced three years ago. Developed by the Indiana Chamber Foundation and the IP35 Task Force, the revised roadmap reduces the original 31 goals to 18 priorities while maintaining six strategic focus areas.
Indiana Chamber President and CEO Vanessa Green Sinders said the update reflects the need for greater focus as the state responds to rapid economic and demographic changes. The updated plan helps Indiana concentrate on areas that will matter most to its competitiveness over the next decade, including increasing the number of Hoosiers earning high-quality workforce credentials and expanding STEM bachelor’s degree attainment.
The revised plan also emphasizes strengthening financing for small businesses, growing Indiana’s innovation ecosystem, and increasing productivity through artificial intelligence and emerging technologies.
