Madison Extension’s Community Economic Development Program is equipping entrepreneurs with the business skills and sector-specific information necessary to succeed in new entrepreneurial ventures. The Rural Wisconsin Entrepreneurship Initiative provides UW research and education to entrepreneurs and economic development practitioners who are interested in supporting entrepreneurial activity in rural communities. This initiative is a partnership with the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC).
The Rural Wisconsin Entrepreneurship Initiative offers multiple ways to engage. The Connecting Entrepreneurial Communities Conference will host entrepreneurs, economic development practitioners, business and civic leaders, and more, featuring presentations to help small towns create environments for entrepreneurship to thrive. An annual event in other midwestern states, this conference is coming to Wisconsin for the first time in 2024. It will take place May 30–31 in Platteville.
