Milwaukee Startup Week returns for its second year next week and promises to be jam-packed with a bounty of panel discussions, networking events, workshops and other opportunities for those interested in southeastern Wisconsin’s startup ecosystem.
The weeklong affair, which launches Nov. 6 and runs through Nov. 12, will feature a roster of more than 50 activities for budding startup founders, established entrepreneurs and interested investors. The event debuted last year to showcase and build momentum in Milwaukee’s technology community, as well as connect local startups with the resources they need to grow.
