This week’s episode of “WisBusiness: the Podcast” is with returning guest Jessica Martin Eckerly, CEO and co-founder of Forward BIOLABS.
The discussion explores the Innovation to Commercialization Pipeline program, one element of the broader Wisconsin Biohealth Tech Hub initiative that landed nearly $50 million in federal dollars in 2024 for projects to advance the state’s biohealth sector. That effort was supported by 2023 Wisconsin Act 96, which provided $7.5 million to lead partner BioForward.
“This has been a few years in the making and in the planning, so it’s really wonderful to have done round one, and announced these fantastic startups to receive this first round of non-dilutive funding,” Martin Eckerly said.
