The Hoosier State continues to capitalize on the growth in renewable energy. It is home to more than 1,200 wind turbines and the fourth-largest wind farm in the country. The electric vehicle industry is thriving in the state, with a $2.5 billion EV battery manufacturing facility being built in Kokomo. The state has made an effort to bring in international investors, with the governor making more than a dozen trips to foreign lands since taking office, meeting with European companies interested in doing business in the Hoosier State. While agriculture remains a key industry, there’s been more focus on growing the life sciences and advanced manufacturing sectors.
