MakeMyMove Boosts Indiana’s Talent Pool, Fort Wayne’s Med Tech Ambitions, and Tackling Hunger Through Innovation

22 minutes

In this episode of Inside INdiana Business with Gerry Dick, we spotlight the Indiana-based startup MakeMyMove, which is luring remote workers from across the U.S. to cities like Noblesville, South Bend, and Evansville. Offering cash incentives, perks, and community engagement opportunities, the program has already helped more than 2,000 remote workers relocate, fueling economic growth and helping Indiana address its talent shortage.

Plus, northeast Indiana is aiming to become a global gateway for med tech companies. Fort Wayne’s Parkview Mirro Center for Research and Innovation is launching an initiative to attract international med tech firms by easing their entry into the U.S. market and leveraging the region’s $19 billion medical device ecosystem.
