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 have a strong vision for the future growth and prosperity of Southwest Indiana – and we are up to the challenge of competing for talent and opportunity amid an ever-changing environment. We advance the interests of businesses, from our large advanced manufacturing bases to our health, financial and tech sectors, and small business owners. We elevate our community and provide inclusive life-changing opportunities with a focus on the people who make the Evansville Region the place to be!
