Who We Are

Indiana's private-sector engine for international economic development.

WTCI is working towards attracting foreign direct investment, opening export markets, and mapping the supply chains that determine where companies locate and grow. We are focused on becoming Indiana's operational layer for global economic development.

01
Foreign direct investment attraction
Targeting inbound capital from Japan, Korea, Germany, and Ireland — the countries already anchoring Indiana's fastest-growing clusters.
02
Export growth & job creation
Every new export market is a new revenue stream — and new export revenue sustains and creates Indiana jobs at every skill level.
03
Supply chain resilience
Mapping Indiana's cross-border supply chains to identify onshoring opportunities, FDI targets, and single-source risks before they become crises.
