A first-of-its-kind, regional startup accelerator and entrepreneurial talent program is in the works, connecting 20 regional academic institutions with Startup Milwaukee and the Greater Milwaukee Committee's Innovation in Milwaukee initiative. Representatives from nearly every university and college in the region met Thursday on Marquette University's campus for a first look at the program, which draws on students and local corporations with the end goal of serving students and furthering regional economic development.
