During the visit, Gov. Evers and Sen. Baldwin, joined by MATC President Anthony Cruz and other consortium members, went on a tour of MATC and hosted a press conference highlighting the benefits this designation will bring to Wisconsin’s economy and workforce.This visit comes as earlier this month, the governor and senator announced that Wisconsin has officially been selected as a U.S. Regional Tech Hub by the U.S. Economic Development Administration, unlocking $49 million to grow the state’s personalized medicine and biohealth sector, including advancing research and innovation, growing the state’s economy and creating jobs, and boosting American competitiveness in a cutting-edge industry.
