Xconomy’s commitment to supporting overall economic growth is directly in line with what we’re working towards at WEDC.

Thanks to the many people involved in this launch, from Luke Timmerman, a national biotech editor and native of Wisconsin to Laura Strong, president of Quintessence Bioscience here in Madison. The true collaboration in the state is prevalent in all we do, and that’s something we continue to be proud of.
