The following is a statement by Paul Jadin, president of the Madison Region Economic Partnership (MadREP), regarding the announcement that Xconomy, a national web-based news service focused on the life science and technology industries, has opened a Wisconsin news bureau with a reporter dedicated solely to covering those industries here.

We were pleased to support the establishment of Xconomy’s presence here and look forward to a long, productive relationship with them.”
