The Wisconsin Technology Council recently named the 26 finalists of the 19th annual Wisconsin Governor’s Business Plan Contest.

“Young companies such as those advancing in this year’s contest are examples of innovation that cuts across industry sector lines in Wisconsin,” Wisconsin Technology Council Chairman Greg Lynch said in a statement.

Sixteen Madison-area companies, including CyberNINES, Clock’d and Gud Medical, advanced.

As in past years, the Tech Council will pick “The Diligent Dozen” in late May, and each company will present live at the 2022 Wisconsin Entrepreneurs’ Conference in Milwaukee in early June.

Atrility Medical won the 2021 contest.
