Catalyze Indiana - Catalyst Scholars Fund

Catalyze Indiana is a multi-stakeholder initiative to position Indiana as the national hub for advanced chemistry manufacturing and innovation, convening three Fortune 500 life sciences corporations, four R1 research universities, and Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology around shared technology priorities, talent pipelines, and manufacturing infrastructure.

The initiative's first phase, the Catalyst Scholars Fund, launched in March 2026 with $69.4M in philanthropic funding and university matching commitments to recruit 25-45 world-class faculty and their research teams across analytical chemistry, novel macromolecular chemistries, automation, and AI applications in bioscience manufacturing. Arrowpoint Labs served as strategic advisor and program architect for the initiative.
