OrthoWorx was founded in 2009 with a $7 million grant from The Lilly Endowment following a study that highlighted the challenges associated with maintaining a globally competitive industry cluster in Northern Indiana.
To ensure a vibrant and dynamic future for the benefit of the entire regional economy, we seek to support the long-term sustainability and growth of the orthopedic sector with a focus on three strategic areas identified in the study that led to our founding: Talent Development, Talent Attraction, and Innovation & Entrepreneurship.
