LiveX was proud to welcome Governor Tony Evers to Green Bay as part of a major step forward for Wisconsin’s growing film and production industry. The visit highlighted a new state film office and a proposed $5 million annual tax credit designed to attract television, film, and digital productions to the region.
Governor Evers emphasized how production drives economic impact, from job creation to increased tourism and local business growth.
“Technology brings people and jobs,” Evers noted, underscoring the role media production plays in shaping a modern economy. His message aligned perfectly with what LiveX has been building for years: a world-class production ecosystem rooted in the Midwest.
LiveX co-founder and president Corey Behnke reinforced that vision, pointing to the untapped potential of the region. While much of the industry remains concentrated in Los Angeles and New York, LiveX continues to prove that high-end broadcast and live streaming can thrive in Green Bay—serving presidents, Fortune 1000 companies, and global audiences.
The introduction of state-backed incentives could be a turning point. By lowering the barrier for productions to choose Wisconsin, the state is signaling that it’s ready to compete on a larger stage.
For LiveX, it is a real moment of pride.
Hosting Governor Evers wasn’t just an honor; it was a glimpse into what’s next. With the right support and continued investment, Wisconsin is poised to become a serious player in the future of film, television, and live production.
