2025 Theme: Unlocking Investment in Wisconsin’s Economy
This year, we’re inviting you to help answer a big question:
Not just what investment can do for Wisconsin—but what we can do, together, to unlock it.
At the Wisconsin Economic Summit, we will explore opportunities that can help build thriving communities.
We will hear how others are sparking innovation and attracting investment, how they’re fostering a mindset of growth, preparing a workforce ready for tomorrow, and strengthening connections across sectors and regions to build unstoppable momentum.
The Summit will showcase real-world examples and innovative partnerships that demonstrate how strategic investment can help Wisconsin’s communities:
- Attract talent and businesses
- Strengthen local economies
- Improve quality of life
- Build long-term economic resilience
Together, we’ll chart a course toward more thriving and future-ready communities.
