WIST Lab Services works with Wisconsin companies and beyond
Lindsey Hoffman
When Lindsey Hoffman fielded an inquiry about WIST's pulp testing services one day last spring, she had no idea it would lead to a trip to Bogota, Colombia, and consultation for a recycled pulp manufacturer there.
This February 28 event will explore opportunities to gain new revenue from vegetable production and processing residual materials.
This event is free but registration is required. Register now and mark your calendars to be at Heartland Farms Operations, Technology and Training Center in Hancock, Wisconsin, on Tuesday, February 28.
"Hatch" an idea: it could be worth $2,000 and more
In keeping with WIST's focus on entrepreneurship and innovation, we're helping spread the word about a new initiative: HATCH is a rotating high energy, social networking and idea pitch program.
At each program, individuals or teams of individuals have the opportunity to
pitch their brightest business ideas. Both the crowd and a program jury of select
entrepreneurs, investors, community resource partners select the winning idea. Each
program also features the top 10 best ideas submitted to the HATCH platform.
