BioCrossroads has officially launched its BioCrossroads Startup Hub, a new, comprehensive ecosystem platform designed to serve as a centralized front door for Indiana’s life sciences startup community. Built as a continually evolving resource, this online hub brings together funding pathways, mentorship, regulatory and clinical resources, startup visibility, and ecosystem connections in one place. BioCrossroads is an initiative of the Central Indiana Corporate Partnership.
Crossroads Health Ventures (CHV) recently announced its launch of a new early-stage venture fund created to accelerate the growth of Indiana’s life sciences startups and reinforce the state’s global leadership across human, animal, and plant health innovation. The fund has secured more than $21 million in commitments from strategic and institutional partners such as Eli Lilly and Company, Corteva, Elanco Animal Health, Indiana University, Parkview Health, and the State of Indiana through the Economic Development Corporation (IEDC). CHV will begin deploying capital in early 2026. CHV is powered, in part, by BioCrossroads.
Research Universities for Michigan (RU4M) recently announced the recipients of the first round of Livable Futures Initiative (LFI) Water Collaboration Grants. This initiative seeks water-focused interdisciplinary research projects that explore and advance human health and well-being and opportunity for people in the state of Michigan.
