A river city once forged in heavy industrial manufacturing, Beloit is reinventing itself as an entrepreneurial hub for young professionals and high-growth startup companies. With a convenient location on the Wisconsin-Illinois border, beautiful renovations to a historic downtown, and multi-million dollar industrial redevelopments, the city is an attractive location with a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem. Wisconsin Startup Week will provide opportunities for engagement with the startup community and the chance to learn from a variety of local success stories, all of whom are contributing to the revitalization of this innovative community.
