Strategic Alignment WCMP serves as Wisconsin’s official MEP center, bridging WMEP and UW–Stout MOC to unify services for manufacturers. This presents a sales opportunity to offer integrated workforce development, technology acceleration, and continuous improvement programs that amplify the state’s manufacturing competitiveness.

Small-Scale Focus With 2-10 employees, WCMP targets small to mid-sized manufacturers seeking efficiency gains, process improvements, and market expansion. Sales targets could include scalable solutions, lean training, and digital tools suitable for smaller teams needing measurable ROI.

Public Funding Access WCMP has benefited from government funding (including a $1.5M CARES Act infusion) and partners with public entities. This signals receptivity to grant-ready projects, subsidized initiatives, and programs that combine private services with government-backed financing.

Manufacturing Reports Annual Wisconsin Manufacturing Reports position WCMP as a thought leader and market signal for sector health. Opportunities exist to provide data analytics, benchmarking, and advisory services that enrich these reports and drive client engagement.

Growth & Collaboration Recent and ongoing collaborations with WMEP, UW–Stout MOC, WEDC, and regional partners show WCMP’s openness to ecosystem partnerships. This creates a channel for co-delivered consulting, training programs, and technology projects tailored to Wisconsin manufacturers.
