Wisconsin organizations, companies and institutions are working to secure funding for the tech hub.
The Economic Development Administration designated the state as a Tech Hub at the end of October which means the state’s biohealth industry can grow between 50 and 75 million dollars. Leaders of the tech hub have their eyes on a bill in the state Legislature that would allocate 7-point-5 million dollars to a series of economic development projects. They say if the bill passes, it would help support a new BIOLABS location in Milwaukee and expand Forward BIOLABS in Madison.
