We have a similar thing called an EngD in the UK. There are about 20 institutions that do, most of them well regarded and from what I've heard do a great job at providing you industry links throughout.
I think the CDT programmes in various fields are also pretty good at preparing people for industry careers. A lot of PhD projects are either aiming to address industrial concerns and are industry funded or are tangentially related, and people who aren't industry funded benefit by getting exposure to that world through their colleagues.
