Wisconsinites must submit corrections to the FCC's new national broadband map by January 13, 2023. Be sure to compare your reported speeds to your real-time speed using MadREP's crowd-sourced broadband speed test. The tool will show you what your current internet speed is while collecting necessary data for the Madison Region to pursue better broadband infrastructure in the areas identified as underserved. Please complete the brief test both at home and at work.
Mark your calendars for May 10, 2023 at Monona Terrace! We will celebrate the tenth year of continued partnership between the Madison Region Economic Partnership (MadREP) and the Urban League of Greater Madison (ULGM), hosting the annual Madison Region Economic Development + Diversity Summit.
