Wisconsin Digital Business Council

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.

The digital economy is not somebody else’s story

A fiber line down a county road. A compute facility on a section line. A creator in a farmhouse office paid through a wallet instead of a label. Wisconsin’s digital economy runs through places that rarely get a hearing — and those are the places a bad rule hits first.

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