Exclamation points are generally a no-no when writing headlines. But here at the Innovate Indiana Blog, we’re going to make an exception — just this once — to make an important and exciting announcement.

Effective Aug. 1, the Innovate Indiana Blog will have a newer, cleaner appearance and a different name to be revealed that same day. As our web development team makes the transition from the old format to the new, the Innovate Indiana Blog will “go dark” for one week starting July 25.

Upon its return, our renovated blog will continue to bring readers news of innovation, technology transfer and commercialization and economic enhancement within the Innovate Indiana universe as we strive to help the Hoosier State generate long-term prosperity through developing a culture of building and making.

Along with regular posts from myself and Steve Martin, the blog will continue to feature guest posts and articles from Innovate Indiana’s executive team, as well as key figures in ingenuity, entrepreneurship and economic development at IU campuses throughout the state.

We hope you enjoy our new format as the Innovate Indiana Blog begins a new chapter in its six-year history.
