Build a business or career, or build a life?

People who live here don’t have to decide. Many Wisconsin cities are consistently ranked among the best places to live because they’re livable, walkable and affordable while offering opportunities to enrich the world and our own lives.

Our state is home to the largest musical festival in the world, the only publicly-owned NFL team in the nation and enough farm-to-table dining options to impress even the most ardent foodie—all while remaining a place where cost of living is among the lowest in the nation. Add to that low crime rates, stellar schools, short commute times, four glorious seasons, two Great Lakes and 15,000 smaller but equally inviting ones, and access to superior health care, and Wisconsin warrants consideration above and beyond its world-renowned cheese and beer credentials. Simply put, it’s a place where people live—happily, healthily and wholly.

Realizing your vision starts with knowing you can. Whether you’re driven to improve our world or just yours, Wisconsin supports game-changers by creating opportunities that can turn ambitions into careers.

Our world-class educational institutions and research facilities as well as our access to abundant natural resources have allowed us to create and sustain industry leadership in the areas of advanced manufacturing; energy, power and control; water technology, food and beverage production, biohealth and more. By moving ideas from vision to reality, Wisconsin has improved lives for those here and across the globe. Our culture of innovation increases productivity, enhances sustainability and improves health, raising living standards worldwide.

It’s no wonder that Wisconsin is home to some of the most inspiring and consequential companies and people in the nation. The only thing missing is you. Here, you can do more because you have more: more opportunity, more career satisfaction and a more well-rounded life. There’s so much more to look forward to here in Wisconsin.

Wisconsin loves big ideas and larger-than-life aspirations because they lead to big changes and a meaningful world impact. That’s why our statewide network of partners provides resources, financial support and more to keep your business moving forward.
