The Green Bay Innovation Group has formed the Green Bay Innovation Group Foundation effective December 2023. The GBIG Foundation formed from its past and present activities as we continue to move forward supporting our Businesses and Communities. We continue to follow our Mission Statement.
The primary activity is to raise funds to donate to other non-profits, local charities, causes and education. These activities are done through leveraging our connections, sponsorships, golf outings and events with a focus on the 5P and Converting Industries.
These activities are conducted by our Board of Directors and Volunteers.
Our activities are conducted in Green Bay and across the State of Wisconsin.
Ninety percent of the time is allocated to this activity.
The activity furthers the exempt purpose of making financial contributions and grants to charities and causes.
The Green Bay Innovation Board of Directors wants to thank our Sponsors and Supporters.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Marty Ochs Executive Director Green Bay Innovation Group

MIKE GALLAGHER AND GUESTS: Strategies for protecting and enforcing intellectual property regarding China: What Green Bay and Wisconsin business need to know.
Congressman Mike Gallagher speaking
We want to thank Mike Gallagher and his staff for moderating the CHINA IP ROAD SHOW in Green Bay.
Mike Gallagher serves as the 118th Congress as Chairman of the Select Committee on Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chine Communist Party, as Chairman of the House Armed Services Subcommittees.
Subject: Green Bay and Wisconsin enterprises doing business in or with China overview and discussions of concerns with US Business and our Citizens by an outstanding panel of speakers.
Chinese Communist Party has conducted an unprecedented theft of USA property of over $300 Billion annually! It is the longest transfer of wealth in the history of humanity! Rules do not apply to the CCP.
CCP has been hacking companies, government, our military institution, and USA Citizens on a scale never witnessed before! The CCP is the biggest threat to our Democracy and NOT the Chinese citizens!
CCP has increasing targeted politicians and state legislators according to a report the U.S. National Counterintelligence and Security Center release.
Counterfeiting our products and we have limited protections for our companies and citizens!
Intellectual Property (IP) infringed upon and what business needs to do to protect it.

USA need to protect High-Tech Manufacturing
Need for Strong Education in the USA
We have recognized the CCP and Xi Jinping are increasingly pursuing and suppressing the citizens of China and Minorities!
Unfortunately, we are very intertwined with China and the need to de-coupe poses a major challenge to the United States. Our belief that bringing China into the world community would benefit ALL parties and the experiment has failed! In the 1990’s and 2000’s, the CCP Beijing was lobbing to join the World Trade Organization and did. The world embraced the China economy to support the Chinese people and secure lasting peace for the world. Unfortunately, the passage of the entry of China into the World Trade Organization has backfired at the expense of the Wisconsin and USA Manufacturing Industries. The rise of Xi Jinping and his brand of nationalism and dictatorship have blown apart the relationship with the United States.
Panelist Conrad Wong Speaking
Panelists from L-R: Mike Gallagher, Kristen Raney, Marilyn Nash, and Koreen Grube
We need to start bringing manufacturing back to the USA or countries that serve our best interest on a global scale. The BIGGEST area is the Paper, Pulp and Converting Industries across the United States. We must limit our adversaries from buying up our companies, water, and natural resources by the CCP and China State Supported Companies. We have seen major China and Asia based companies purchase Paper, Pulp and Forests at an unprecedented pace in the USA and world-wide while US Companies are struggling. It is time to BUILD BACK Wisconsin Paper and Pulp Industries and invest in Wisconsin’s future!
In our upcoming GBIG NEWS, we will provide an overview of the status of the Paper and Pulp Industries with the industry declining at an alarming rate. Wisconsin will have to decide the importance and impact of the Paper and Pulp Industry to the Wisconsin economy.
