Milwaukee’s position as a leader in water technology has been significantly influenced by The Water Council, a nonprofit organization launched in 2009 that is dedicated to fostering innovation and partnerships within the global water sector. With roots tracing back to the region’s historical water usage in brewing, food processing, and tanneries, Milwaukee has become a hub for cutting-edge water technologies, making The Water Council a central figure in driving the local economy forward.
In October, the U.S. Small Business Administration announced that The Water Council was selected for a Regional Innovation Cluster Award of $2.5 million. This prestigious five-year award builds on the foundation laid a decade ago and underscores Milwaukee’s position as one of the nation’s most mature water technology clusters.
