Those ingredients include:- A robust academic research and development foundation- A proven ability to turn ideas into intellectual property- Competitive scientific and technical talent produced by Wisconsin colleges and universities- A vibrant entrepreneurial support structure- Of late, a cadres of experience business managers who know how to take a company from start-up to job-producing growth stageWisconsin attracts just .55% of the nation's venture capital.
