ABOUT CEP
The MIT Clean Energy Prize is the world’s premier student competition for early-stage energy ventures with the potential to catalyze a new generation of clean energy solutions. The MIT CEP endeavors to inspire and train entrepreneurs to build companies that will significantly accelerate the pace of energy innovation. The competition offers a low-risk, high-reward environment for student entrepreneurs to develop business ideas with the aid of mentorship and rigorous judging feedback, while gaining exposure to some of the biggest thinkers in the clean energy space. The 2012 competition comprises three categories (Energy Efficiency, Renewable Energy, and Deployment & Infrastructure) and culminates with a Grand Prize award of $200,000, in addition to three Category Winner awards of $20,000. See cep.mit.edu for deadlines and more information.
