There is a lot of buzz in Milwaukee about innovation and entrepreneurship.
Recently, UWM Today featured UWM students involved in getting ready to launch their own products into the marketplace through the Student Startup Challenge.
Now the good work that is taking place on this front has been recognized by the National Science Foundation. It has just awarded one of its prestigious Innovation Corps grants to UWM and four other local academic institutions.
The $300,000 award could lead to a whole new generation of entrepreneurs in Milwaukee. The Innovation Corps grant provides training that is the gold standard for accelerating ideas into the marketplace.
UWM Today talks with Brian Thompson and IlyaAvdeev. They are leading the startup evaluator program in Milwaukee.
