The student competition has $595,000 in total cash prizes distributed to as many as 27 student teams who present a business plan for emerging energy technologies. The Faculty Track offers more than $100,000 in cash prizes to individuals and teams for the successful development and implementation of educational activities that engage students on energy technology commercialization and entrepreneurship topics at their institution. Interested competitors are encouraged to read our Rules, and stream a recording of the Dec. 10 webinar to learn more about important deadlines, submission requirements and prize rules. Interested applicants can also read more about each bonus prize in the December update to the Official Rules document.
There are two more opportunities in January 2025 to hear about the prize and ask your questions.
