Thanks for your interest in sharing your voice and insights on TechPoint Index!

TechPoint Index is Indiana’s premier and only publication platform for digital innovation news and tech industry insights. The platform serves a growing audience base comprised of tech executives and technology professionals in enterprises, midcos and startups, community stakeholders including investors, service providers and nonprofit and government personnel who are interested in keeping up with what’s happening in tech, and tech enabled or non-tech workers and learners.

Index Topics

Index covers content by third parties on digital innovation news on funding, M&A, industry partnerships, awards, personnel, and cutting-edge research. 

Featured content on TechPoint Index is usually original content by TechPoint or third-party contributors on:

• In-depth industry research and insights such as venture market report, the current state of artificial intelligence and where tech industry sectors are heading.
• Thought leadership pieces with a clear business focus and insights into strategies and tactics that will lead to quantifiable results – the more specific, the better. Great topics include how-to guides on fundraising, growth, product management, enterprise system management, or recruiting. These tend to offer actionable advice written by authors who have direct experience in the topic they are covering. Since we are writing for a well-informed audience, trust and credibility are very important.
• Not covered: political news, opinions pieces or basic best practices or general overviews of new tech or individual sectors that are generally well understood, or contributions that include text or images produced via generative AI.
