According to the report, prepared by TEConomy Partners, LLC, a global leader in research, analysis and strategy for innovation-based economic development, Wisconsin’s biohealth industry is outperforming most major state industries in terms of job growth and wages. Among the highlights within the third-party report are:
“More than just mere numbers in a report, this insight highlights the state’s vibrant and dynamic biohealth industry as a crucial impact to Wisconsin’s economic growth,” said BioForward Wisconsin CEO Lisa Johnson. “The billions in economic impact for our state combined with the thousands of high-paying jobs play a significant role in our state’s economy. As importantly, individuals and organizations in this industry are essential to the treatment of, and solution to, the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Our research institutions and companies have been among the most successful in the country at discovering and commercializing innovation in medical technology for decades. There’s a reason for that: imagination and true partnerships,” Johnson continued. “Our efforts and success have been strengthening since 1987, but our constellation has really shone during the COVID-19 crisis.”
The report’s authors also noted that the state’s biohealth industry is “delivering innovative, life-saving and quality-of-life treatments to society and its role as a steady economic growth driver, generating high-quality jobs and sizable economic impacts for local communities, states and nations.”
