Variety of Programs Scheduled for Chamber’s Powering Innovation Initiative

The Greater Wausau Chamber of Commerce is launching a new series of programs designed to make it easy for entrepreneurs and businesses to access the essential tools and services they need to adapt, compete and thrive. The Chamber’s Powering Innovation initiative assembles digital tools around a variety of events all designed to boost the culture of innovation in the region.

“Small businesses are at the very heart of innovation, as evidenced by the path of some of our area’s largest employers, many who grew from very small beginnings,” said Dave Eckmann, President and CEO of the Chamber. “Businesses of all sizes need to adapt quickly to new technologies and this results in the reshaping of industry in unexpected ways.”

“By streamlining access to the right resources, we help turn challenges into opportunities, fueling the growth and success of businesses in a rapidly changing world,” said Eckmann.

The following Powering Innovation programs are scheduled in the coming months:
