WARF invited thought leaders from throughout Wisconsin to contribute their perspectives on Innovation and the Wisconsin Idea. These leaders — university researchers and professors, business leaders and entrepreneurs, investors and public officials — share their views on the crucial interdependence between university innovations and the strength of the Wisconsin economy. We're proud to host this web series and hope the articles allow you to reflect on the ways we can work together to advance Wisconsin research, industry and entrepreneurship. We invite you to share your thoughts at wisconsinidea@warf.org.
