SBA Awards The Water Council a $2.5M Cluster Contract

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) announced that The Water Council has been selected for a Regional Innovation Cluster Award of $2.5 million as it continues to build support for the water technology sector from its headquarters in Milwaukee, one of the world’s most mature water technology clusters.

Through this five-year award, The Water Council will offer increased support for U.S. businesses at various stages, from early-stage startups to established small and medium-sized enterprises, working in the water technology solution industry. This includes enhanced offerings in The Water Council’s BREW 2.0 Post-Accelerator for late-stage startups; matchmaking and training; customized support and resources for small business and foreign direct investment (FDI) prospects; capacity-building; and access to new market resources.

Although this award isn’t directly tied to Water + Energy Forward, it helps Milwaukee continue to build its water technology ecosystem, which will help us reach our goals of providing water and energy technology solutions to manufacturers and utilities.
