MIT sponsors Clean Energy Business Plan competition

Written on the original Movable Type site and recovered from the Internet Archive.

The local MIT Enterprise Forum has typically presented main-stream IT related forums. It looks like the one back in Boston has more active Special Interest Groups. One is sponsoring a $125K business plan competition: Energy Special Interest Group

Here is how they define Clean Energy technologies:

* Renewable Energy: active solar, wind, fuel cell, bio-energy, and hydro-technologies;
* Energy Efficiency and Demand Response: electricity end use, buildings, and grid applications;
* Enabling Technologies: power electronics, storage, cables and wires, sensors and instrumentation, control systems, materials and manufacturing technology; and
* High-Performance Buildings and Green Systems: sustainable design and integrated clean energy applications.

I would add some other sectors, but these are ok broad stroke categories. I am going to attend and see what the kiddies are up to.
