The Water Council, established in 2009 by Milwaukee-area businesses, education and government leaders, is the only organization of its kind in the United States. The Water Council takes great pride in having coalesced one of the most powerful water technology clusters in the world. Today, The Water Council links global water technology companies and small businesses, innovative water entrepreneurs, acclaimed academic research programs and some of the world's most talented water technology professionals. Through the support of JPMorgan Chase , The Water Council will look to expand the water investment program nationally and internationally. The partnership will help to advance The Water Council's vision of being the globally connected epicenter of freshwater research, innovation, education and business development; drive economic development in Milwaukee; enable water technology companies to strengthen and grow their businesses; and ultimately help address pressing global water issues.
