Those easily recognized metros have many opportunities, but there are often stronger industry agglomerations and more supportive business environments in other parts of the country. Indianapolis, the capital of the state of Indiana and home of the world-famous Indy 500 car race, is one such location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Indiana has consistently been held as one of the best states to do business across numerous national rankings (e.g. Forbes), and it is not just anecdotal that the state\u2019s capital, Indianapolis, is performing well above more populous peer cities. An analysis of data from the BEA to calculate real GDP per capita across the state, metro (MSA), and county levels illustrates a comparative example of Indianapolis and Miami. Indiana has a real GDP per capita of $49,000, while Florida has $44,000; the Indianapolis MSA has a real GDP per capita of $60,000, while Miami MSA has $51,000; and Marion County (Indianapolis) has a real GDP per capita of $86,000, while Miami-Dade has $54,000. Sometimes the sun\u2019s reflection off the water can blind us to the realities of business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Indiana\u2019s \u201coceans of opportunity\u201d draw upon a long history in agriculture and manufacturing, and the innovation and expansion brought by research and technology. The Indianapolis region exemplifies this, with a diversified economy centered on six primary industry groupings: Life Sciences (e.g. pharmaceuticals, medical device); Agribusiness (e.g. genetics, chemicals); Advanced Manufacturing (e.g. automotive parts, aircraft engines); Logistics (e.g. e-commerce, distribution); Sports (e.g. motorsports, administration); and Technology (e.g. digital marketing, SaaS). Companies of any size can take advantage of agglomeration effects offered within the region and state by reducing the costs of production, amassing knowledge through spillover, and accessing more specialized labor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As an example, the Indianapolis region is the only US metro with specialized employment concentrations in all five major bioscience sectors, including agricultural, distribution, pharmaceuticals, medical devices\/equipment, and research\/testing, according to a joint study by Batelle and BIO. This makes it no surprise that Roche Diagnostics and Corteva Agriscience (previously Dow AgroSciences) have their North American headquarters within the Indianapolis region; that the region\u2019s Indiana University Medical School has grown to become the largest medical school in the country by enrollment, leading research with other institutions in the state, such as Purdue University and the University of Notre Dame; or that the state of Indiana is the second largest life science exporter in the US, with some of the highest foreign-trade zone activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2019, the state of Indiana exported over $205 million in goods to Colombia, and brought in nearly $24 million in imports, according to the ITA. Exports have been led by medical and pharmaceutical products, aircraft and automotive components, and agricultural products such as pork. Imports included agricultural products such as fruit and coffee, along with various parts and components needed for manufacturing. Reflecting this trade relationship, there are a number of major companies headquartered in the Indianapolis region that have also chosen to operate in Colombia through subsidiaries \u2013 such as Allison Transmission, Cummins, Eli Lilly &amp; Company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Indy Chamber, which drives economic development efforts for the Indianapolis region, is eagerly working to engage small and medium-sized companies across supply chains and business networks in Colombia. Those companies may find tremendous benefit from the agglomeration effects of the region\u2019s existing industry groupings, with opportunities to expand by through a strong and effective base of operations in the United States. It can be hard to take a leap into an unknown foreign market. For that reason, The Indy Chamber invites any interested business without existing operations in the United States to take advantage of our Global Indy Business Center, which offers free office space and market research support in Indianapolis for up to six months, along with introductions across the region and engagement with the Hispanic Business Council. If your business is considering expansion, be sure to consider the specialized opportunities that await in Indiana. The Indianapolis region is ready to become your gateway to the broader US and North American markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>Oportunidades en Indiana<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap wp-block-paragraph\">Cuando la mayor\u00eda de la gente piensa en los Estados Unidos, a menudo vienen a la mente im\u00e1genes de grandes ciudades como Nueva York, Los \u00c1ngeles o Miami. Esos sitios f\u00e1cilmente reconocibles tienen muchas oportunidades, pero a menudo hay aglomeraciones industriales m\u00e1s fuertes y entornos empresariales m\u00e1s favorables en otras partes del pa\u00eds. Indian\u00e1polis, la capital del estado de Indiana y hogar de la mundialmente famosa carrera de carros Indy 500, es uno de esos lugares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Indiana se ha considerado constantemente como uno de los mejores estados para hacer negocios en numerosos rankings nacionales (por ejemplo, Forbes), y no es solo anecd\u00f3tico que la capital del estado, Indian\u00e1polis, est\u00e9 funcionando muy por encima de las ciudades pares m\u00e1s pobladas. Un an\u00e1lisis de los datos de BEA para calcular el PIB real per c\u00e1pita en todo el estado, el metro (MSA) y los niveles de los condados ilustra un ejemplo comparativo de Indian\u00e1polis y Miami. Indiana tiene un PIB real per c\u00e1pita de $49,000, mientras que Florida tiene $44,000; Indianapolis MSA tiene un PIB real per c\u00e1pita de $60,000, mientras que Miami MSA tiene $51,000; y el condado de Marion (Indian\u00e1polis) tiene un PIB real per c\u00e1pita de $86,000, mientras que Miami-Dade tiene $54,000. A veces, el reflejo del sol sobre el agua puede cegarnos ante las realidades de los negocios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Los &#8220;oc\u00e9anos de oportunidad&#8221; de Indiana se basan en una larga historia en agricultura, manufactura, y en la innovaci\u00f3n y expansi\u00f3n que aportan la investigaci\u00f3n y la tecnolog\u00eda. La regi\u00f3n de Indian\u00e1polis es un ejemplo de esto, con una econom\u00eda diversificada centrada en seis agrupaciones primarias de la industria: ciencias de la vida (por ejemplo, productos farmac\u00e9uticos, dispositivos m\u00e9dicos); Agronegocios (por ejemplo, gen\u00e9tica, productos qu\u00edmicos); Fabricaci\u00f3n avanzada (por ejemplo, piezas de autom\u00f3viles, motores de aviones); Log\u00edstica (por ejemplo, comercio electr\u00f3nico, distribuci\u00f3n); Deportes (por ejemplo, deportes de motor, administraci\u00f3n); y Tecnolog\u00eda (por ejemplo, marketing digital, SaaS). Las empresas de cualquier tama\u00f1o pueden aprovechar los efectos de aglomeraci\u00f3n ofrecidos dentro de la regi\u00f3n y el estado al reducir los costos de producci\u00f3n, acumular conocimiento a trav\u00e9s de la propagaci\u00f3n y acceder a mano de obra m\u00e1s especializada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Una muestra de esto es que, la regi\u00f3n de Indian\u00e1polis es el \u00fanico metro de los EE. UU. con concentraciones de empleo especializadas en los cinco principales sectores de biociencia, incluyendo agricultura, distribuci\u00f3n, productos farmac\u00e9uticos, dispositivos \/ equipos m\u00e9dicos e investigaci\u00f3n \/ pruebas, seg\u00fan un estudio conjunto de Batelle y BIO. No es una sorpresa que Roche Diagnostics y Corteva Agriscience (anteriormente Dow AgroSciences) tengan su sede en Norteam\u00e9rica dentro de la regi\u00f3n de Indian\u00e1polis; que la Escuela de Medicina de la Universidad de Indiana de la regi\u00f3n ha crecido hasta convertirse en la escuela de medicina m\u00e1s grande del pa\u00eds, liderando la investigaci\u00f3n con otras instituciones en el estado, como la Universidad de Purdue y la Universidad de Notre Dame; o que el estado de Indiana es el segundo mayor exportador de ciencias de la vida en los EE. UU., con una de las mayores actividades de la zona de comercio exterior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">En 2019, el estado de Indiana export\u00f3 m\u00e1s de $205 millones en bienes a Colombia, y trajo casi $24 millones en importaciones, seg\u00fan el ITA. Las exportaciones han sido lideradas por productos m\u00e9dicos y farmac\u00e9uticos, componentes de aviones y autom\u00f3viles, y productos agr\u00edcolas como la carne de cerdo. Las importaciones incluyeron productos agr\u00edcolas como frutas y caf\u00e9, junto con varias partes y componentes necesarios para la fabricaci\u00f3n. Como reflejo de esta relaci\u00f3n comercial, hay una serie de compa\u00f1\u00edas importantes con sede en la regi\u00f3n de Indian\u00e1polis que tambi\u00e9n han optado por operar en Colombia a trav\u00e9s de subsidiarias, como Allison Transmission, Cummins, Eli Lilly &amp; Company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La C\u00e1mara de Indy, que impulsa los esfuerzos de desarrollo econ\u00f3mico para la regi\u00f3n de Indian\u00e1polis, est\u00e1 trabajando con entusiasmo para involucrar a las peque\u00f1as y medianas empresas en las cadenas de suministro y las redes comerciales en Colombia. Esas compa\u00f1\u00edas pueden encontrar enormes beneficios en los efectos de aglomeraci\u00f3n de las agrupaciones industriales existentes en la regi\u00f3n, con oportunidades de expandirse a trav\u00e9s de una base de operaciones s\u00f3lida y efectiva en los Estados Unidos. Puede ser dif\u00edcil dar un salto a un mercado extranjero desconocido. Por esa raz\u00f3n, la C\u00e1mara de Indy invita a cualquier negocio interesado sin operaciones existentes en los Estados Unidos a aprovechar nuestro Centro de Negocios Global Indy, que ofrece espacio de oficina gratuito y soporte de investigaci\u00f3n de mercado en Indian\u00e1polis por hasta seis meses, junto con presentaciones en todo el pa\u00eds, regi\u00f3n y compromiso con el Consejo de Negocios Hispano. Si su empresa est\u00e1 considerando expandirse, aseg\u00farese de considerar las oportunidades especializadas que le esperan en Indiana. La regi\u00f3n de Indian\u00e1polis est\u00e1 lista para convertirse en su puerta de entrada a los mercados m\u00e1s amplios de Estados Unidos y Am\u00e9rica del Norte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"A Day In Indy\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/udJX8ERecwQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"This is Home | Indianapolis\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/05nCqmeTpV0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Indy Chamber <\/p>\n<p>When most people think of the United States, images of large cities like New York, Los Angeles, or Miami often come to mind&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":822,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-796","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-edicion159-2020-comercio-exterior"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/amchamcolombia.co\/business-mail\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/796","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/amchamcolombia.co\/business-mail\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/amchamcolombia.co\/business-mail\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amchamcolombia.co\/business-mail\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amchamcolombia.co\/business-mail\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=796"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/amchamcolombia.co\/business-mail\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/796\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amchamcolombia.co\/business-mail\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/822"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/amchamcolombia.co\/business-mail\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=796"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amchamcolombia.co\/business-mail\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=796"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amchamcolombia.co\/business-mail\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=796"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
