Inside 2026 Fall Issue

Fall has officially arrived in Indiana and the latest issue of the Indiana Business Review has dropped alongside the leaves and temperatures. This issue explores how Indiana can build on its economic strengths while learning from successful models at home and abroad. First, Riley Hudelson-Zipper and Josslyn Kennedy examine Indiana's advanced industry clusters, comparing the state's performance with national trends and highlighting how regional concentrations of these industries can drive future growth and prosperity. The issue also features a pair of articles that look to Dublin, Ireland for lessons applicable to the Hoosier state. Phil Powell and Navraj Brar explore how Ireland's competitive tax policies, investments in education and global connectivity offer insights for economic development in Indianapolis. Finally, David Adams focuses on Indiana's life sciences sector, examining how Dublin's experience can help inform the development of a stronger, more connected innovation ecosystem in one of Indiana's most important industry clusters. We hope you enjoy it!
