The non-partisan Milken Institute places Wisconsin smack-dab in the middle when it comes to the state's ability to compete in a technology-oriented economy.

Wisconsin is No. 25, according to Milken's 2018 State Technology and Science rankings. That is three places lower than the state fared in 2016, the last such ranking by Milken.
