About E-REP
For the good of all.
The Evansville Region thinks regionally — and acts regionally.
The Evansville Regional Economic Partnership exemplifies that commitment. Launched in 2021 following the combination of three like-minded legacy organizations in the business and growth space, E-REP promotes regional economic development and vitality. We are here to drive the region’s economic growth, attract a high-wage and high-skilled workforce and elevate quality of life.
Sounds bold? It’s
because we think
Boldly.
Our mission is to cultivate a thriving and growing talent-rich Evansville Region through advocacy and collaboration between our communities, businesses, and civic leaders.
We’re committed to shaping a bold and prosperous future for Southwest Indiana—and we’re ready to compete for talent and opportunity in a fast-moving world. We champion businesses of all sizes, from major players in advanced manufacturing to growing companies in healthcare, finance, tech, and beyond. Our focus is on people—the heart of the Evansville Region—creating meaningful opportunities and building a community where everyone can thrive.
