Strategic Solutions for Business Success

WEDG provides businesses with the tools to thrive by leveraging strategic partnerships, tax advantages, and government contracting opportunities. Our tailored economic solutions drive long-term growth, sustainability, and profitability.

Why WEDG Forms Business Partnerships

At WEDG, we believe that strong economies are built through collaboration. As a wholly owned tribal corporation, our mission is to create sustainable economic opportunities that benefit both the Wakpamni Lake Community and the businesses we work with. Due to the remote location and economic challenges faced by our community, traditional business models are often not viable. To overcome these barriers, we actively seek strategic partnerships with companies that align with our long-term vision for growth, innovation, and financial self-sufficiency. By working together, we not only generate revenue to support essential community initiatives but also create new industries, workforce opportunities, and economic resilience that benefit everyone involved.
