Summary:SK hynix broke ground August 27 on a more than $4 billion advanced-packaging and research facility at Purdue Research Park. The company plans to open the cleanroom in 2028 and begin mass production of next-generation high-bandwidth memory in 2029. The project includes an advanced-packaging R&D testbed developed with Purdue and is expected to create approximately 1,000 direct jobs and thousands of additional indirect jobs. Why it matters:High-bandwidth memory is a critical component of the processors powering advanced AI systems. As the first U.S. production base dedicated to packaging this technology, the facility places Indiana inside the AI hardware supply chain—not simply among states adopting AI. Purdue’s research and talent partnership could also establish West Lafayette as a national center for advanced semiconductor packaging, workforce development and AI infrastructure innovation.

The IN AI Roadshow comes to Notre Dame on September 18, connecting South Bend–Elkhart employers with practical AI applications, proven regional results and resources to help organizations improve productivity, strengthen competitiveness and move from exploration to implementation.
More than 400 leaders joined the first in-person IN AI Roadshow to explore real-world use cases, test practical tools and identify next steps, demonstrating how Indiana can turn AI curiosity into organizational capability through action and collaboration.
Indiana’s executive-branch agencies received approval for 135 proposed AI implementations between January 2025 and June 2026. Potential applications include analyzing police video, summarizing case law, processing documents and supporting drone operations. The activity shows AI moving beyond experimentation into practical government workflows, while raising important questions about governance, privacy and oversight. Why it matters: Indiana’s public sector is encountering the same adoption challenge facing employers: identifying valuable use cases while putting appropriate safeguards around the technology.
