You probably already know that Wisconsin is a leading dairy state, a brewing industry icon, a Northwoods recreation destination, a summer golfing haven and, yes, the home of the Green Bay Packers.
But how much do you know about Wisconsin’s world-class technology economy?
Please allow us to tell you more through the pages of Wisconsin Edge!
Wisconsin’s tech-based economy includes some of the nation’s premier research universities, a thriving early stage investment community and companies that range from among the largest in the world to those that stand to become tomorrow’s household names.
Sectors of excellence in Wisconsin include drug discovery, diagnostics, genomics, regenerative medicine, information technology and software, advanced manufacturing, medical devices and electro-medical equipment, nanotechnology and more. Companies such as GE Healthcare, Epic Systems, Logistics Health, Promega, Rockwell Automation and Johnson Controls all call Wisconsin home – as do hundreds of emerging tech-based firms.
The University of Wisconsin in Madison is the nation’s second-largest research university in terms of annual investments in R&D, with centers of excellence in biotechnology, computer sciences, engineering, medicine and much more. The Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation is the nation’s oldest academic technology transfer organization.
Wisconsin’s investor tax credits law has helped to quadruple early stage investments in state companies since 2005, and served as a platform for co-investing deals that have involved investors from many other states.
Please read on to learn more about Wisconsin’s competitive edge and how it can work for you!
Sincerely,
Tom Still,
president Wisconsin Technology Council
