Wisconsin

Wisconsin has solidified its position as a premier global destination for personalized medicine and biohealth innovation, anchored by its 2024 designation as a federally recognized Tech Hub.

The state's ecosystem is a powerhouse of biotechnology and pharmaceutical manufacturing, supported by world-class institutions like the University of Wisconsin-Madison, which consistently ranks in the top five nationally for research expenditures exceeding $1.9 billion.

Wisconsin is best known for its leadership in medical imaging and theranostics, hosting industry titans such as GE HealthCare and pioneering firms like Accuray and NorthStar Medical Radioisotopes.

The region's molecular diagnostics sector is equally robust, led by global cancer-screening innovator Exact Sciences.

Beyond diagnostics, the state is a critical node for contract manufacturing (CDMO) and bioprocessing, offering a resilient supply chain for cell and gene therapies.

Integrated healthcare systems like Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin and UW Health drive healthcare innovation through extensive clinical trials and digital health integration.

With a workforce fueled by specialized programs in biomedical data science and applied biotechnology, Wisconsin seamlessly bridges the gap between academic research and commercial success. This collaborative environment, uniting the manufacturing might of Milwaukee with the R&D excellence of Madison, makes Wisconsin an essential partner in the global life sciences supply chain.
