Indianapolis, the capital of the state of Indiana, is not often thought of as a technology center. One city official, however, believes the city’s image is changing. Angela Smith Jones is the deputy mayor of economic development. She compares Indianapolis to a version of Silicon Valley. In other words, Indianapolis is becoming a center for new, technology-based businesses, similar to Silicon Valley in California. Last year, technology companies in Indianapolis added $7.7 billion to the city’s economy. They employed 75,000 people and are seeking more. Openings for technology-related jobs increased 40 percent last year.
