In Fiscal Year 2025, Illinois turned opportunity into momentum and momentum into results. It was a landmark time for our state, and for our organization.  To continue delivering at the highest level, fulfill our mission, and stay ahead in a rapidly evolving global economy, we are transforming from Intersect Illinois to the Illinois Economic Development Corporation (Illinois EDC). This reflects more than a name change: Its a signal of our commitment to strengthening Illinois position as one of the most dynamic, opportunity rich business destinations in the world. It reflects a sharper strategy, an expanded team, and a bolder vision to show companies of every size that Illinois is the best place to invest, innovate, and grow.

As you’ll see in this report, there are numerous projects that Illinois EDC is especially proud to tout. These results are more than numbers: they represent stronger supply chains, revitalized regional economies, and a state where economic opportunity reaches every community. Much of this success is driven by our business development team, whose deep industry expertise – from quantum technologies to life sciences to clean energy – and tailored, hands-on approach are bringing world-class companies to #BeInIllinois.
