Tommy Thompson on Technology Former Secretary of H.H.S.; former Republican Governor (WI)

Don�t let one high tech company escape Wisconsin

Wisconsin stands to become America�s Biotech Prairie and we mustn�t let one high tech company escape our state in search of a better climate.
• We must aggressively pursue more venture capital so the ambitious high-tech and biotech entrepreneurs have the resources to bring their discoveries to market.
• We must continue investing wisely in our universities: Keep the Biostar program on pace. Double the number of information technology graduates. And create a Master�s degree in biotechnology at UW-Madison.
• And move forward with the Madison Initiative, Milwaukee Idea and Chippewa Valley Initiative. All are strategic plans geared toward developing the jobs and workers of tomorrow through public-private partnerships in their regions.
• Find a way to create tax-free Technology Zones in regions of the state. They can set the Biotech Prairie on fire by providing a tremendous financial incentive for high-tech companies to locate and grow in Wisconsin. Source: 2001 State of the State Address , Jan 31, 2001
