Cresa Madison provides customized solutions exclusively for corporate space users by offering integrated services that align clients’ real-estate needs with their business plans. Cresa aims to incubate Madison companies in its co-working space and then help them find the right home where they can continue to grow their business.
Madworks, partnered with University Research Park, opened new co-working space in the MGE Innovation Center in August 2013. The goal of MadWorks is to provide local entrepreneurs more business resources and opportunities to collaborate.
100 State, a startup community in the Madison area that focuses on membership, entrepreneurship, community and education, strives to leverage its talent pool to help overcome challenges facing Madison.
“These are just three examples of an exciting trend that can work for many entrepreneurs in search of the right space,” said Tom Still, president of the Wisconsin Technology Council.
