WISCONSIN, Milwaukee

October 2018: UWM developing an innovation district in Milwaukee. https://uwmref.org/innovationcampus




May 1, 2016: The Mayor's M7 report is worth reading. Collaboration over competition.

 They make the argument for WHY Milwaukee needs an innovation district. Good start.

It begins with a press release from Brookings. That same story must have appeared in 1000 newspapers but it sparks a local conversation. The education process begins. Heads nod. Heads get scratched. Dreams find champions or are shot down at first sight.

At lease Milwaukee is thinking about innovation districts as an economic development tool. 

and another Babson project unleashed! HERE. I've said it before, but it bares repeating: Please read everything Daniel Isenberg writes on innovation districts and entrepreneurial ecosystems. It cost nothing but an investment of time to get smart quick.
