Research Foundation, gener8tor, Waukesha County Technical College and the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce to advance the development and commercialization of frontier
technologies in Wisconsin.

Supported by the Ignite Wisconsin grant program, the consortium is launching the Wisconsin Frontier Technology Platform to accelerate innovation in advanced materials, advanced sensing, artificial intelligence, energy storage, intelligent systems, robotics, and quantum computing and sensing.

The initiative includes:

• Frontier Technology Lab — connecting researchers and industry partners
• Frontier Technology Accelerator — supporting high-growth technology startups
