The persistent pursuit of the next Giant Leap has led Purdue University and the State of Indiana to establish a hard-tech ecosystem at the smart crossroads of America. The Hard-Tech Corridor along I-65 promises to unlock new advancements in tech for Indiana and beyond.
Forged by discovery, built by innovation, and fueled by an unrivaled workforce, this 65-mile corridor unlocks boundless potential for research and business.
"Hard tech: where bytes meet atoms. Where what you touch and what you code, merge. For example, semiconductors and microelectronics. Aerospace and transportation and logistics. Ag and biopharma manufacturing. These are the pillars of hard tech, and Indiana will be known for the Hard-Tech Corridor."
-President Mung Chiang
