BCforward’s Post

Today at the Global Entrepreneurship Congress in Indianapolis, Secretary of Commerce David Adams led an inspiring discussion with three of the Midwest’s most dynamic entrepreneurs, Scott Dorsey, Justin Christian and Martha Hoover. These Hoosiers are driving innovation while making a lasting impact in their communities. As Indiana continues to strengthen its entrepreneurial ecosystem under Governor Mike Braun’s leadership, we remain focused on ensuring all Hoosiers have the resources, mentorship and network they need to start and grow successful businesses. These leaders exemplify how entrepreneurship goes beyond business—it’s about building legacies, supporting communities and creating opportunities that uplift our state. From scaling High Alpha to shaping Indiana’s tech landscape, to expanding BCforward as one of the largest Black-owned firms in the country, to transforming Patachou Inc. into a force for food security, these entrepreneurs are proof that vision, resilience and commitment can shape industries and lives. Their insights today reinforce the importance of investing in talent, fostering innovation and embracing community-driven impact. Indiana is committed to empowering its entrepreneurs and ensuring the Midwest remains a thriving hub for innovation. Let’s keep building the future of Indiana, together. #GEC2025
