About Wisconsin
Wisconsin has a dynamic mix of resources for start-up companies and more mature companies hoping to expand or relocate. It has some of the nation's most aggressive investor tax credits, world-class research settings, a well-educated workforce and a maturing entrepreneurial and tech transfer culture. Wisconsin continues to make major investments to grow this capacity.
Why is BIO 2011 in Washington a must-attend? The Mid-Atlantic region is a growing center for biotechnology research and pharmaceutical development. In addition to other federal agencies that manage research programs, the National Institutes of Health is based in nearby Rockville, Md. Wisconsin's congressional delegation is also a force on Capitol Hill.
