About Innovation Week

Innovation Week is where ideas and inspiration become action. For four days, founders, investors, students, creatives, and civic leaders gather across the city to build connections, launch collaborations, and showcase Bloomington’s strengths.

I-Week is organized around four core clusters: HealthTech, GovTech, AI, and Creative Arts — each reflecting the city’s economic and cultural strengths. Every day spotlights one cluster through pitches, working sessions, and community events, all designed to turn conversations into next steps.

Why attend I-Week?

  • Focused clusters: Dive deep into Bloomington’s real strengths in health, government, AI, and the arts.

  • Action over optics: Leave with meetings, pilots, and collaborations — not just notes from panels.

  • Civic pride: See how Bloomington’s innovators, creatives, and institutions are shaping the city’s future.

  • Diverse voices: Founders, investors, students, artists, and civic leaders all in the same rooms.

  • Accessible to all: A free Festival Pass opens the door to the week’s full schedule.
