The Lambeau Field Atrium’s Legends Club was full of companies earlier this month that you probably don’t know and entrepreneurs intent on changing that.
The Wisconsin Technology Council’s annual Tech Summit rolled into Green Bay in mid-March ready to connect the region’s and state’s emerging companies with innovation labs and angel investors.
These are firms like PoWER and clearTREND Research in Appleton, Headway in De Pere, Sadoff E-Recycling and Data Destruction in Oshkosh, and SharpLogixx in Green Bay.

And no one knew how huge Al Schneider’s company would become when he bought his first delivery truck in 1935.
