Coffee with CARW – Kenosha Forward – Building a Bold, Innovative Future

Kenosha is charting a new course—one driven by innovation, anchored in strategic investment, and powered by a community committed to progress. This CARW event brings together civic and business leaders for an inside look at how the city is positioning itself as a modern hub for industry, technology, and entrepreneurship.

Hear from Mayor David Bogdala as he outlines Kenosha’s economic momentum and long-term vision. Nicole Ryf, President of the Kenosha Area Business Alliance, will spotlight major industrial investments and business attraction trends. Learn about catalytic city-led initiatives from Tim Casey, Director of Development, and transformative waterfront redevelopment plans from Scott Yauck, President of Cobalt Partners.  Kelly Armstrong, President of the Kenosha Innovation Neighborhood (KIN), will share how KIN is creating a launchpad for next-gen companies and fostering inclusive innovation from the ground up.

From revitalized districts and smart infrastructure to the rise of purpose-built innovation ecosystems, this event offers a front-row seat to the ideas and investments shaping Kenosha’s future. A moderated audience Q&A and networking session will follow the presentations.
