WPI is celebrating 32 years, but it is not about us.
This year we will focus on expanding opportunities for Wisconsin businesses in technology, R&D and non-traditional opportunities. We will learn how to really understand the government’s challenges and requirements and how to use mechanisms such as OTAs, PIAs, CRADAs, DIU, SOFWERX / AFWERX, prize challenges and other processes. Federal contracting is not just responding to posted bids. It is understanding the real opportunities and challenges and understanding what is really required by the contractor to succeed in this environment.
Join the WPI Board of Directors, government contractors from around the state and government influencers for a sharing of knowledge and a discussion on the "State of Government Contracting in the State" and how to expand Wisconsin’s Federal contracting power to truly increase businesses sales, profits and jobs.
It is about the businesses we serve and the services and products they provide to our country.
