Water Technology, Economic Development, Wisconsin, The Water Council
The Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation, The Water Council, and Veolia have partnered to offer a new program for entrepreneurs. The two-year program will make resources available to individuals and companies centered on water and water technologies. Water policy and programs have been gaining interest lately due to drought, flooding, and an increase in wastewater.
The Water Council located in Milwaukee, WI currently offers a number of resources for companies and individuals looking to invest and promote the water industry. The new POW! (emPowering Opportunities in Water) program marries economic development and environmental sustainability. More details on the POW! program will be released at a later date. The Water Council offers more initatives and programs to support research and financing for water technologies. For more information on Water Council programs visit: Water Council Initiatives
