Wisconsin's council for the digital economy

From the dome in Madison to every corner of the state: we grow the digital economy, and protect the people in it.

Where the rules get written

Over the next two sessions this building will decide how Wisconsin treats digital assets, artificial intelligence, data privacy, and the infrastructure underneath all three. Those statutes get drafted whether or not the businesses they govern are in the room.

WDBC is how they get in the room: with tracked bills, tested positions, and testimony that holds up.

What we do

WDBC is a nonpartisan 501(c)(6) business league for the businesses building Wisconsin’s digital economy (blockchain, digital assets, AI, quantum, and broadband), and for the consumer protections that keep public trust.

This is our story

Wisconsin’s economy is going digital in every sector at once: a dairy operation running herd analytics, a machine shop quoting jobs out of a cloud system, a clinic reading scans against a model trained somewhere else, a freight yard tracking loads by the minute. This is not one industry asking for rules. It is the whole state economy already running on software, with the statutes still catching up.

That change reaches the places that rarely get a hearing first, and those are the places a bad rule hits hardest.

Our Legislative Tracker scores the state’s progress on both pillars, bill by bill, in real time.
