Beer, Cheese & Hydroponics — ‘Coolest Things’

Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce opened voting for its Coolest Thing Made in Wisconsin contest.

“This contest highlights not only the cool products made in our state, but also the entrepreneurship and work behind each product,” said WMC President & CEO Kurt R. Bauer. “Our manufacturers are the best in the country, and we have a great opportunity to underscore their contributions to our economy, the high-paying careers they create, and the innovative, necessary products they make.”

This year, 130 products were nominated for the competition, representing every corner of the state and a wide array of industries, including agriculture.

Several food and beverage items are on the list, in addition to agricultural equipment. See the nominees and cast a vote: https://www.madeinwis.com/contests/2024-contest/

Votes can be cast once per day, per device. After the popular vote round ends on Sep. 24, the top 16 products will go on to compete in “Manufacturing Madness,” a bracket-style tournament ultimately culminating with one champion. The 2024 Coolest Thing Made in Wisconsin will be crowned at WMC’s Business Day in Madison event on Oct. 17.
