<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-6606fdbc-37fa-15c8-d0b6-754931e9da0b"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">At UWM, we strive towards creating mutually beneficial university-industry collaborations. Traditionally, our largest industry collaborators have been Ansys, General Electric Healthcare, Rockwell Automation, and Johnson Controls. These companies have assisted in research projects, laboratory, and in some cases maintain facilities with personnel on campus working hand in hand with faculty, staff, and students. More recently, the University has begun developing new incubator spaces with the Innovation Campus, where UWM aims at developing a world-class, public-private research park that spurs strong and enduring partnerships between academia and industry leading to new products, spin off businesses, workforce development and jobs. For example the future of biomedical research is in translational research, which takes ideas from the lab to the patient bedside. At the same time, Southeastern Wisconsin’s manufacturing sector still employs significant numbers and is looking for ways to innovate and diversify. </span></span></span></span> <span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span><span style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Another branch within the Innovation Accelerator is the UWM Mobile and Innovation Lab but fondly referred to as the App Brewery. The Brewery works to create mobile apps that benefit the Greater Milwaukee Community while providing real world work experience to add to a student's portfolio. Partnerships include Wisconsin Medical College, Waukesha County Libraries, and nonprofits.</span></span></span></span>

<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-6606fdbc-37fd-231e-1030-6a9902d77cbb"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">UWM’s Innovation Campus takes advantage of both these areas of strength by offering a place for partnership and proximity to encourage entrepreneurship, while also providing ways for technology businesses to expand and remain competitive.</span></span></span></span>

<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-6606fdbc-37fd-789d-27b5-334993b8bb5e"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">On June 6, 2013, UWM broke ground on a 100,000 square-foot addition to the existing Water Institute, transforming the structure into the new graduate-level School of Freshwater Sciences harbor campus. &nbsp;The new space houses research support facilities, laboratories, teaching spaces and collaboration spaces.</span></span></span></span>
