AFFILIATES

The Wisconsin Technology Council and the Wisconsin Innovation Network work with a variety of organizations — public and private; local, regional and statewide — to help grow Wisconsin’s “knowledge-based” economy.

These affiliates often work with the Tech Council and WIN on joint events, on policy issues, on communications, and on “showing the flag” for Wisconsin in regional and national forums. Wisconsin is a state rich in people and organizations pulling together to build an entrepreneurial culture and to provide high-growth opportunities for its citizens.
