Invest Hamilton County

Invest Hamilton County-an economic development corporation- is committed to enhancing the economic prosperity of Hamilton County, Indiana.

We focus on attracting, retaining, and developing talent for the business sector through key initiatives like Talent lnSight 2030-an annually updated forecasting report that comprehensively understands the county’s workforce and population dynamics to provide a refined vision of the region’s future. This initiative acts as a toolkit for community-based organizations and county and city leaders to implement more effective growth strategies.

Additionally, we are invested in improving the quality of life for Hamilton County residents. Our strategic partnerships with businesses, schools, and community organizations allow us to address barriers to economic growth and create opportunities for everyone to thrive. This outreach is manifested through disability workforce programs, K-12 education initiatives, and workforce training programs-including mental health training.
