Tech Growth Outlined in Report

by Brian Lee

Money is not the only thing that can boost Wisconsin’s economy.

But it does help, according to the Wisconsin Technology Council, which this week issued a report titled “The future is now: Four strategies for Wisconsin’s high-growth economy.”

In addition to increasing access to capital for entrepreneurs, the state needs to focus on its workforce, improve broadband and high-speed computing networks and concentrate on sectors that produce jobs, the report outlines.

“Our board is made up of people who understand Wisconsin’s tech economy from a variety of angles,” Tom Still, president of the Tech Council, said in a statement. “Their ideas, along with those contributed by our members across the state, form the foundation for this report.”
