Students in the UW-Madison Department of Life Sciences Communications recently profiled nine state companies that are working on advancements the companies hope will net them sustained business success.
The ideas range from a new system to boost the local food movement to a nanotech drug delivery system to a new technology for coating tools with ultra-thin layers of diamond.
The companies participated in the Wisconsin Governor’s Business Plan Contest, which is in its eighth year. This year’s winners will be announced June 7-8 at the Wisconsin Entrepreneurs’ Conference in Milwaukee
