2025 in Review with Mike Bolinder

We’re doing things a little differently with this episode. Instead of an external guest, we’re bringing in someone internal—Mike Bolinder SVP, External Engagement & Chief Innovation Officer. Last month, BioCrossroads released our 2025 annual report. And in this episode, Mike and Vince take a step back to reflect on 2025. Together they unpack a year’s worth of milestones across innovation, manufacturing, workforce, communications, and capital. 2025 was a watermark year for Indiana’s life sciences ecosystem—for the first time ever, life sciences in Indiana surpassed $100B in economic contribution, at $102B to be exact. We also became known as the radiopharmaceutical capital of the world. And we vastly expanded our workforce infrastructure and supports. This episode is the perfect companion piece to our annual report, and I recommend everyone take a look at it for a comprehensive look at all of the state’s activities in life sciences.
