Milwaukee’s regional water technology industry (supported by The Water Council) was recently named by The Brookings Institute as one of the best industry clusters in the nation.
The case studies used by The Brookings Metropolitan Policy Program - which helps serve as guidance for metropolitan leaders in identifying and embracing industry clusters within their region to grow the economy - included Milwaukee as one of the five case studies that indicate a successful industry cluster.
