The Indy Partnership is seeking your input for our first annual Economic Outlook Survey. As the regional economic development organization for the Indianapolis region, we need your input to develop services and initiatives which help retain and grow existing businesses and attract new companies to the Indy region.
 
Why is your feedback so important? The goal of the Economic Outlook Survey is to gauge the temperature of regional businesses – how well they fared in 2022 and what they expect for 2023. It’s a tool that will help our business leaders see how they compare to their peers and provide insights your company can act on. In addition, the survey will help us compare year-to-year data and spot trends.
 
Please take a few minutes to complete this year’s Economic Outlook Survey. There are 22 questions and the survey should take no longer than 10 minutes. Individual responses will be kept anonymous; only aggregate information will be reported.
 
Respondents will be entered into a drawing for a $50 gift card. To be eligible for the gift card drawing, respondents must provide contact information at the end of the survey – otherwise that information is optional.
 
The deadline for responding is Friday, September 9, 2022.
