Grow Globally!
IHIF is interested in helping our members participate in the global economy and fosters a number of international relationships that may be beneficial to growing Indiana's life and health science economy. IHIF has relationships with several international organizations and groups and is able to facilitate introductions around specific programs or technologies.
Australia
For several years, IHIF has helped to sponsor and organize an incoming delegation of Australian executives visiting Indiana before heading to the international BIO conference. Indiana has operated an office in Sydney, Australia since 1999 and has built strong ties with the health and life science sector there.
Germany
In November 2010, IHIF participated in a business development mission to Germany with representatives from The Indy Partnership and the Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership. The group held informational investment seminars in Munich and Dusseldorf and met with German companies interested in the US market at the MEDICA trade fair. While Indiana has a number of existing connections to Germany, IHIF is working specifically to expand the business to business connections within the health science sector.
