During the visit, Baldwin and Evers, who were joined by MATC President Anthony Cruz and other consortium members, toured the facility and discussed the growing opportunities for Wisconsinites to get the education and training for jobs in this up-and-coming sector. “Jobs, jobs, and more jobs. That is what this Tech Hub will mean for Wisconsin,” said Senator Baldwin. “Whether it is in a high-tech lab, behind a computer, or on the production line, our Tech Hub is going to create all sorts of opportunities for Wisconsinites in a growing field. It was so great to be at MATC to see how our Tech Hub partners will help people get the skills they need to land a family-supporting career, grow our Made in Wisconsin economy, and ensure our state continues to lead the world in innovation.” “It is no secret that Wisconsin’s multi-billion dollar biohealth industry is a huge economic driver that supports tens of thousands of jobs across the state. The state has been a committed partner in the Tech Hub process since the very beginning, and I am glad my administration could do its part to help bring this important designation to Wisconsin,” said Governor Evers. “I want to thank Sen. Baldwin and the Biden-Harris Administration for their leadership and partnership in this important effort, as well as the support of MATC and other members of our BioHealth Consortium. Together, we’re ensuring Wisconsin continues to lead the way in innovation in this cutting-edge field.”
