Wisconsin must focus on continued modernization of its manufacturing and agricultural industries, while also working to develop emerging industries, such as bio-medical research, to keep the state’s economy competitive, Gov. Jim Doyle said at a conference Thursday.
Those emerging industries that need continued investment include stem cell research, said Doyle, speaking to about 300 economic development officials and business people at the Governor’s Conference on Economic Development. The conference, organized by the Wisconsin Economic Development Association, met at Madison’s Monona Terrace convention center.
