Creating a more Competitive Wisconsin.
It’s no secret that the U.S. economy has seen better days. And Wisconsin’s economy isn’t any different. In our state today are many groups, representing a variety of constituencies that have been developed to help find a better way moving forward. But being better relies on looking at issues from a full 360 degrees—and that can only happen when everyone has a seat at the table.
Competitive Wisconsin, Inc. was formed for just that purpose. As a nonpartisan coalition engaging business, higher education, agriculture and labor, Competitive Wisconsin is uniquely positioned to provide the opportunity to bring groups together to provide analysis and recommend action on issues affecting Wisconsin’s economy and quality of life. The result will be a strong, growing economy that can encourage and sustain family-supporting jobs, economic prosperity and secure Wisconsin’s quality of life.
