The Future Wisconsin Project, a program of WMC Foundation, addresses our state’s long-term systemic, economic challenges. With partner representation from business, government, and education, this program seeks to bring all stakeholders of the economy to the table to develop solutions we can all implement. The year-long collaboration culminates with The Future Wisconsin Summit, held at the end of each year.

The Summit this year will feature discussions on rural Wisconsin, the agricultural economy and a keynote on the importance of STEM education, among other thought-provoking speakers.
