Strategic Economic Competitiveness
Through programs, policies and initiatives that foster an environment of innovation and success, we are advancing industry clusters and developing the next generation of skilled workers in Wisconsin. We are also working to engage in and build lasting relationships with our young people eager to take advantage of the opportunities Wisconsin offers.

Business Development
We leverage Wisconsin’s economic assets, as well as our statewide partners in education, research and industry, to support startups, fuel business growth, help companies tap global markets and attract new and expanding businesses to our state.

Community and Economic Opportunity
Our work helps improve the quality of life in Wisconsin communities. We help create opportunities for economic activity by investing in our urban centers, redeveloping idle industrial sites, encouraging minority business growth, and supporting downtown revitalization in our small and midsize communities.

Brand Development and Strategy
From our talented workforce to the companies we assist, Wisconsin is a compelling place to live and work. Our outreach highlights our state strengths to maintain and enhance our consistently impressive rankings for business climate, productivity and personal fulfillment.
