June 14-20 marks a statewide acknowledgement of Hoosier ingenuity known as Indiana Entrepreneurship Week. Established by the state’s Office of Small Business and Entrepreneurship, this event is the first of its kind in Indiana. It showcases top entrepreneurial talent, promotes entrepreneurship as a profession and educates small business owners on related issues.

“The inaugural Entrepreneurship Week will highlight all sectors of small business and entrepreneurship in Indiana – from the manufacturer looking to procure a contract with the federal government, to the young innovative-driven entrepreneur looking to plant roots and grow their company in the Hoosier state,” OSBE Director Jacob Schpok said when the event was announced in February. “This is the time to bring together interested parties to further examine the business opportunities currently within the state and encourage innovative growth within the industry.”

Five Bloomington-area events will be held in conjunction with Indiana Entrepreneurship Week. They are planned in collaboration with the Indiana Small Business Development Corp., the Gayle and Bill Cook Center for Entrepreneurship, the City of Bloomington, Indiana University, the Bloomington Economic Development Corp., the Greater Bloomington Chamber of Commerce, and Cowork Btown. A quick summary follows, with full details and registration information available here.
