Marketing the region for new investment
M7’s strategy to identify locationally active companies and make a compelling case for the region’s many assets has been highly successful over the past 15 years. And we are poised to win even more of these projects in the coming years.
Competing as a united region allows us to think bigger and broaden opportunities. M7 provides the data research, project management and behind-the-scenes support to guide companies from their first visit through the opening of their new plant or office.
M7 has successfully closed deals and attracted foreign direct investment from companies in Germany, China, India, Great Britain and Italy. Many of our recent wins have resulted from Wisconsin’s favorable business environment, particularly attractive to companies across the border in Illinois.
Helping businesses of all sizes locate or expand in the region
Business attraction wins span diverse industries and have included Nexus Pharmaceuticals, Vonco, Black Husky Brewing, Grand Craft Boats and HARIBO confectionery with its first North American manufacturing facility.
