Keynote speaker Ray Cross, Chancellor of the University of Wisconsin Colleges/Extension, discussed how the University of Wisconsin is an important partner for growing technology-based jobs, representatives of three Wisconsin business technology parks discussed how they developed their parks and what features attracted the companies to locate there, and members of the local Wisconsin Innovation Network (WIN) discussed efforts and progress to-date to establish a business technology park in our area.
