Junction 36
We’re Powering Up!
Junction 36, powered by Indiana Tech, is the Region’s Hub for Advanced Manufacturing and HardTech Innovation. Our mission is to drive advanced manufacturing and hardtech innovation throughout our region while developing talent and empowering the next generation.
Since its founding in 1930, Indiana Tech has maintained a strong emphasis on engineering and technology. In 2024, the Zollner Engineering Center on the Fort Wayne campus completed a three-phase expansion and renovation project that provided space, equipment, and resources for the Talwar College of Engineering and Computer Sciences to expand their programs for traditional students and working professionals. This project also signaled a renewed momentum toward innovation and industry engagement, which inspired the Junction 36 initiative.
What We Do
We help companies adopt new technologies and bring new products to market. We then conduct specific training programs to develop their people around the new technologies, whether it’s R&D, Test, Validation, Integration or even space to be used as a manufacturing testbed.
We have special events and programs targeted to inspire and empower the next generation of STEM Leaders and product innovators.
