MADISON – The Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation has launched a new website, www.InWisconsin.com, designed to help new, growing and relocating businesses find economic development resources.

On InWisconsin.com, a user will find a searchable database of programs, incentives and tools in the state that are available to existing Wisconsin businesses and entrepreneurs. The site also offers information to site selectors and other economic development professionals exploring business opportunities in the state. Regional and community development organizations can also use the site to share information and use a self-service portal to locate InWisconsin-branded marketing tools.

“InWisconsin.com promotes Wisconsin as a great place to start, locate and grow a business,” said Kelly Lietz, vice president of marketing for WEDC. “We’ve designed the site to connect business leaders and economic development professionals with the resources they need to maximize their business development efforts. Every page of our site includes a call to action, whether it is program information, economic development tools, or contact information for the specialist most qualified to assist with the inquiry.”

The new website contains more than 435 pages of business development information, organization news and press releases about Wisconsin business development activity; dozens of downloadable information resources; and 270 links to economic development partner organizations throughout the state.
