Students in the UW-Madison Department of Life Sciences Communications recently profiled more than a dozen state companies that are working on advancements the companies hope will net them sustained business success.
The ideas range from a brewery with crowdsourced recipes to a magnetic tag game to a system to help restaurants build menus.
The companies participated in the Wisconsin Governor’s Business Plan Contest, which is in its twelfth year. This year’s winners will be announced this week at the Wisconsin Entrepreneurs’ Conference in Madison.
