"The world our kids are going to live in is changing
four times faster than our schools" - Willard R. Daggett, Ed.D.
OUR MISSION
The mission of Partners in Innovation is to create opportunities for collaborative dialogue and action among Wisconsin’s business, education, and community partners.
Partners in Innovation (PII) was formed in 2003 as a collaborative effort of several organizations that had a similar vision to organize a series of Business-Education Summits. The idea was to bring community leaders, businesses and educators together to focus on education and workforce development issues. Summits were successfully held in 2004, 2005 and 2006 with attendees from across Wisconsin.
