The Wisconsin Economic Development Association (WEDA) is a state-wide non-profit organization founded in 1975 that focuses on expanding Wisconsin’s economy. Based in Madison, it serves a diverse membership of more than 450 organizations and identifies as representing the economic development interests of both private and public sectors through leadership on statewide initiatives. The association functions as a coalitional center for economic development activity, connecting its members to initiatives and collaborations that aim to advance economic growth within Wisconsin. While its role is non-profit, its activities include recognizing and supporting projects and individuals that contribute to community and economic development across the state.

Recent activities and partnerships highlight WEDA’s role as a convening and advocacy body within the economic development landscape. The organization administers awards and conferences, such as the Community and Economic Development Awards and the Fall Best Practices Conference, and it partners with other entities to broaden access to capital and resources for entrepreneurs and startups. Through these efforts, WEDA positions itself as a facilitator of knowledge sharing, policy dialogue, and cross-sector collaboration intended to strengthen Wisconsin’s economic vitality.
