What We’re Doing

Wisconsin 2050 is a forward-looking initiative to secure the state’s prosperity for the next generation. Led by a local think tank, Wisconsin 2050 will deliver an actionable plan that strengthens Wisconsin’s economic foundation, enhances public well-being, and positions the state for long-term competitiveness.

To that end, we are conducting a comprehensive assessment of Wisconsin’s strengths, vulnerabilities, and opportunities to generate a clear set of recommendations that are:

  • Designed to deliver outsized constructive impact today and for the future

  • Implementable at the local, county, or state level

  • Supported by key constituencies and stakeholders

Our Recommendation Themes

Our recommendations will be focussed across three primary themes:

1. Legislative or executive actions at the city, county, or state level

2. Budgetary prioritization

3. Public and private sector investments and initiatives
