Innovation is a cornerstone in
the foundation of the region's future. To compete globally, the
Milwaukee region must identify new technologies and ideas with
commercial value and facilitate investment in new ventures. Through the Center for Advanced Technology and Innovation (CATI), and
the Biomedical Technology Alliance, we can stimulate entrepreneurship
and fund new companies. We are collaborating with our local research
universities, like UW-Milwaukee, UW-Parkside, Marquette, Milwaukee
School of Engineering and the Medical College of Wisconsin, to increase
the amount of funded research for technology transfer, business starts
and patents.
