In this special Global Entrepreneurship Week message, Governor Mike Braun highlights Indiana’s growing position as one of the nation’s strongest states for startups and small business growth. A Main Street entrepreneur himself, Governor Braun shares how Indiana is expanding support for founders through new statewide initiatives — including the creation of the Office of Entrepreneurship and Innovation and the launch of Power Up Indiana, a program that helps employers upskill and advance their workforce.
“We’re working to make Indiana the best place in the country to start and grow a business, and with the Office of Entrepreneurship and Innovation, Power Up Indiana, READI 2.0, and our new jobs-and-wages-centered economic development model, we’re well on our way to achieving that goal this Global Entrepreneurship Week.” - Governor Mike Braun
Governor Braun closes by reaffirming the state’s commitment to making Indiana the best place in America to start and grow a business — backed by data showing strong small business contributions, high survival rates, and continued job creation driven by young companies.
