IUPUI is currently collabortating with the Lugar Center for Alternative Energy Resources to do active research on campus. IUPUI's affiliation with the Luger Center for Alternative Energy Research stems from the school's dedication to innovative solutions to enivironmental problems as a research-based institution. In pursuit of alternative energies, student organizations such as The Brain Trust, Sustainability Councils, and SEDS actively attempt to bring student-led initiatives to a public and professional developmental level. Currently in progress is a bid for a self-sustained orbital space station for human life support, programs to increase environment-sustainable awareness in the community, and a project to produce self-contained shipping crate housing solutions for students interested in sustainability, entrepreneurship, and innovation.

Leaders of Indianapolis have a vision of Indianapolis becoming the "Silicon Valley of the Midwest." Connecting IUPUI to this ecosystem will provide students with resources and mentors to jumpstart their projects.</span></span></p><p style ="text-align: justify;">[http://www.16techindy.com/ <span style="font-size:larger;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><u><b>16 Tech Indy</b></u></span></span>]</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:larger;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> 16 Tech is a planned Innovation Community and one of the largest talent attraction, retention and development opportunities in Indianapolis’ history.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:larger;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> The Innovation Community is purpose-built to attract the best talent to collaborate, innovate and commercialize new ideas across a spectrum of advanced industries, including life sciences, technology and advanced manufacturing. The community is built to respond to the way innovation occurs today ─ in open environments where collaboration occurs naturally, while breaking down barriers that sometimes exist in the cross-pollination of ideas across industries.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:larger;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> Innovation communities like 16 Tech draw companies and talent from around the world; they also provide job training and development opportunities for residents of the surrounding neighborhoods. It’s this mix of talent and industry diversity that makes for a truly inclusive and vibrant community for innovation and business and community development.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:larger;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> Like any community, 16 Tech will be a place where people not only work, but live, play and learn. Its millions of square feet of custom, open, modern innovation space is coupled with retail and housing development, generous green space and walking/biking trails for a rich, urban living experience.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:larger;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> -taken from 16techindy.com</span></span></p><p style === Other Resources =="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: larger;"> [http://vergehq.com/indianapolis-investors/ Verge]: Local startup and Entrpreneurship company.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: larger;"> [http://greatplaces2020.org/ Great Places 2020]: A program to make the area next to campus a new thriving part of town including plans for an Entrepreneurship center.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: larger;"> [http://www.clubcyberia.org/ Cyberia]: A local makerspace which offers discounts for student I&E.</span></p>
