Enabling teams to go from an Idea to Venture Launch!

The Michigan Clean Energy Prize, now in its fourth year, has provided funding to dozens of student and faculty led teams with great ideas about green energy.

This year, we are expanding the format of the event to include a variety of additional phases (http://micleanenergyprize.com/format/) that will enable student and faculty led teams to go from an idea to venture launch during a six month program.  The new program is called the Clean Energy Venture Challenge.

During the Venture Challenge teams will be given access to skill building resources, mentors, investors and the opportunity to apply to micro funding  to help them move their ideas forward, and at the end of the competition the most successful teams will receive additional prize money and potential investments to launch their new businesses.

The Clean Energy Venture Challenge is administered by the University of Michigan Center for Entrepreneurship.
