Milwaukee’s momentum continues.

Your support makes it possible.

Greater Milwaukee is rebounding to levels near our pre-pandemic highs. Employment prospects are bolstered by the work of the Milwaukee 7 facilitating corporate expansion and attraction projects throughout the region, such as Fiserv in downtown Milwaukee, Milwaukee Tool in West Bend, Niche Coco in Franklin and Grand Craft in Walworth.

An MMAC-led coalition of 125-plus employers continues to work to make Milwaukee a Region of Choice for all, with progress on pace to reach their goals of diverse hiring and advancement. Our support of an expanded convention center and partnership with VISIT Milwaukee helped make the 2024 Republican National Convention a reality, once again putting us in an international spotlight.

Despite the e昀ects of in昀ation, rising interest rates and lingering labor shortages, MMAC remains focused on what we can control to improve the region’s competitiveness.

There is more work to be done. We must 昀nd new revenue solutions to help the City of Milwaukee and Milwaukee County continue to provide essential services. Our employers need resources to address talent issues. And our K-12 education system needs more high-quality seats for students. We are committed to help solve these issues.

Nothing sells the Milwaukee Region as an ideal place to live, work and play than word-of-mouth advertising. The success and experiences of the tens of thousands of businesses that make southeastern Wisconsin home serve as a beacon to employers looking for a great place to start or expand a business. But because the region has so much to offer, many opportunities and resources get overlooked – both by businesses looking to locate here and companies that already call the region home.

Navigate Business MKE is a comprehensive resource that provides those details, while highlighting the many initiatives of the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce (MMAC). Share it with colleagues you know that are looking to relocate or expand.

A companion publication – Discover Milwaukee Relocation Guide – provides a wealth of information about the region’s communities, schools, and things to do. It is a perfect resource for your human resource professionals to use to recruit top-flight talent.
