Colleges team up to host business plan competition focusing on renewable energy and sustainable innovations


The College of Nanoscale Science & Engineering (CNSE) at the University at Albany, UAlbany's School of Business, the Lally School of Management and Technology at Rensselaer, and Union Graduate College School of Management plan are hosting a business plan competition focusing on renewable energy and sustainable innovations on April 28, 2010.  Current students from accredited colleges are invited to submit a business plan around a student-born innovation focused on an unmet energy technology need. The top applications will be selected to present at CNSE in the final round. The three best rated teams will earn a prize, with the first place winner receiving $10,000.

The competition will encourage students to fully engage in their research and allow them to gain valuable experience through presenting their business plan to industry executives and investors. By creating multi-disciplinary teams, students from different departments within a college or university can take advantage of this unique experience.  For more information:  http://www.neny.org/competition/2010/home
