Secretary Brad Chambers

Secretary of Commerce for the State of #Indiana and CEO of the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (@Indiana_EDC) from July 2021 - August 2023

[Secretary Brad Chambers @SecChambersIN]

Proud to depart this chapter of public service, leaving behind a pipeline of future-focused, high-wage industries exceeding $100 billion in potential capital investments. I’m confident that the @Indiana_EDC team will continue the progress of the last 2 years. #ChambersofCommerce

[Secretary Brad Chambers @SecChambersIN]

As the week winds down, it's gratifying to see progress made, problems solved, goals exceeded and friendships formed through our effort to create a more prosperous economy for all Hoosiers. Grateful to have been a small part of it. #ChambersOfCommerce

[Secretary Brad Chambers @SecChambersIN]

After 2 trips to Korea in the last year, we launched @Indiana_EDC’s 8th international office in Seoul last month. IN continues to cultivate mutually beneficial global relationships, and I know we will see industry & innovation continue to flourish as a result. #ChambersOfCommerce

[Secretary Brad Chambers @SecChambersIN]

We’re growing relationships with future-focused companies around the world. I've had the privilege of sharing Indiana's story in 15 countries and territories over the last two years. Our global partners know Indiana is a global destination for business. #ChambersOfCommerce

[Secretary Brad Chambers @SecChambersIN]

Engage Indiana events have started meaningful conversations & allowed me to share my optimism for Indiana statewide. Grateful for the opportunity to celebrate our successes & work to make Indiana even better. South Bend/Elkhart was a great finale for me today. #ChambersOfCommerce

[Secretary Brad Chambers @SecChambersIN]

Over the last 2 years, Indiana's longstanding relationship with @GM has grown deeper through significant investments in Ft. Wayne, Bedford, Marion and now New Carlisle. Incredibly grateful for the role GM plays in not just our economy but in IN's communities. #ChambersOfCommerce

[Secretary Brad Chambers @SecChambersIN]

Indiana is securing record levels of committed capital investment and attracting new, future-focused industries - both of which help lift Hoosiers up through higher wages and better careers - and the @Indiana_EDC team is just getting started. #ChambersofCommerce

[Secretary Brad Chambers @SecChambersIN]

Last November, @Indiana_EDC launched the Entrepreneurship Yearbook. Telling the stories of Indiana founders at various stages of their journeys shows others what is possible in the Hoosier state when you dream big and aspire for more. https://t.co/WCJZFqmGil | #ChambersOfCommerce

[Secretary Brad Chambers @SecChambersIN]

#SamsungSDI’s $2.5B+ EV battery facility in Kokomo is squarely in line with our 5E focus on the energy transition & building an economy of the future. It's also a testament to our strong workforce, business-friendly climate and thriving Hoosier communities. #ChambersOfCommerce

[Secretary Brad Chambers @SecChambersIN]

In just 2 years, IN has taken meaningful strides in the transition to sustainable, clean energy. @DoralEnergy’s Mammoth Solar farm - the largest solar farm project in the US – is an impressive step in the right direction, and I know we will continue to lead. #ChambersOfCommerce

[Secretary Brad Chambers @SecChambersIN]

.@Indiana_EDC's partnership with @AndrettiFE just made sense. A winning team from the racing capital is proving the capabilities of EVs around the world, while IN continues to invest in the future of mobility & energy. Wishing @FollowAndretti years of success! #ChambersOfCommerce

[Secretary Brad Chambers @SecChambersIN]

I’m proud to say Indiana now has the most vetted nationally competitive development site inventory in the nation. Speed is the new incentive, and Indiana is ready for companies to grow and hire in our state! #ChambersOfCommerce https://t.co/P5D6iyXZRI

[Secretary Brad Chambers @SecChambersIN]

Thank you to the Mitch Daniels Leadership Forum for inviting me to speak today - some really insightful and important questions from the group left me feeling energized and hopeful about Indiana's future.

[Secretary Brad Chambers @SecChambersIN]

In 2021, I started this role as secretary of commerce with a 5E plan to lift Hoosiers up. Incredibly proud of the @Indiana_EDC team for bringing this vision to life and working hard to ensure Indiana is set up to win now and for generations to come. #ChambersOfCommerce

[Secretary Brad Chambers @SecChambersIN]

Over the last year, we’ve conveyed to the world that Indiana is for winners and is winning in the global economy. Our external engagement team has helped secure 200 million impressions for this commercial that has aired around the world. #ChambersOfCommerce

[Secretary Brad Chambers @SecChambersIN]

Last month, we traveled to Portugal and France sharing Indiana’s story as an innovative, global leader. Our commitment to international engagement is critical and will help maintain Indiana's leadership position in future-focused sectors. #ChambersOfCommerce

[Secretary Brad Chambers @SecChambersIN]

We are ambitious in our vision for Indiana and the role we play in the global economy. That's why we hosted the inaugural IN Global Economic Summit in 2022 and why the team is hard at work on #INGlobalSummit 2024. We're building a brighter future, together. #ChambersOfCommerce

[Secretary Brad Chambers @SecChambersIN]

Last month we launched #ConnectIND to help IN entrepreneurs at each step of their journey - a tool I could have benefitted from when I started my entrepreneurial journey as a teenager. Excited to see how many this will help statewide! #ChambersOfCommerce https://t.co/Q8muw6idf8

[Secretary Brad Chambers @SecChambersIN]

So proud of the @Indiana_EDC for being named one of Indy’s 2023 Top Workplaces by @IndyStar. Since day one, I’ve encouraged this talented team to shoot higher and run faster. They’ve done just that, and I know they aren’t slowing down. #ChambersOfCommerce https://t.co/BWz2Y9r2zf

[Secretary Brad Chambers @SecChambersIN]

At @SelectUSA in May, we announced an MOU between @Indiana_IEDC, @LifeAtPurdue and @imec_int to strengthen Indiana's #semiconductor ecosystem, marking one of several MOUs we’ve signed to strengthen Indiana's global presence in the last two years. #ChambersOfCommerce
