Applied Research Institute (ARI, formerly known as IN3) works with academia, industry, and government to create a hub of national security innovation that helps solve critical defense priorities. We are building an ecosystem of economic growth that is speeding new investment and advancing partnerships, jobs and the talent pool in Indiana. We connect regional, state, and national partners through a variety of means. This includes convening research and business teams to solve emerging technical challenges for the Department of Defense. We expect that these discoveries will impact a range of critical industries including medical, transportation and many more.
