Seven organizations supporting Wisconsin entrepreneurs with technical and financial assistance have received nearly $850,000 in the latest round of Entrepreneurship Partner Grants from the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC).
“Our support of Wisconsin entrepreneurship sparks innovation, advances technology, creates jobs, and improves our quality of life,” said Missy Hughes, secretary and CEO of WEDC, the state’s leading economic development organization. “These grants will help people from all backgrounds achieve success and bring their ideas to life through education, advice, and financial support.”
As part of WEDC’s commitment to the state’s Regional Technology Hub designation, which is providing $49 million in federal funds to expand Wisconsin’s leadership in biohealth technology and personalized medicine, a pair of grants totaling almost $400,000 were awarded to Forward BIOLABS and Bridges to Cures Inc.
