WEDC Announces Focus Forward to Help Businesses and Communities
The Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) is pleased to announce a new digital platform with resources, information and inspiration to help Wisconsin businesses and communities facing economic challenges resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Focus Forward serves as an online one-stop shop for state, federal and other funding and operational assistance programs, while also providing up-to-date information through multimedia formats.
Focus Forward will provide:
- Up-to-date information on financial and operational assistance programs from the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) and other state and federal partners
- Livestream events and videos that break down complex topics to help you understand and overcome the challenges the pandemic poses for you, your business and your community
- Podcast episodes that connect business and community leaders and other Wisconsin “doers” in conversations featuring actionable advice and valuable perspectives
- Answers to your questions about the evolving guidance related to COVID-19, such as essential and non-essential business designations, best practices for virtual operations, and parameters for safely reopening
WEDC is here to help. We created Focus Forward to streamline and simplify the flow of information on COVID-19 recovery, while delving deep into complex topics that require more explanation and featuring the stories of real Wisconsin business owners so you can learn from their ideas and experiences.
By working together, we can prepare all of Wisconsin to prosper beyond the pandemic. We hope you’ll engage with Focus Forward and subscribe to receive updates as new resources are posted.
