The CU Energy December Membership Meeting is a Faculty Panel – Energy enthusiastic professors talk about how they got into energy, energy opportunities on campus, and how to get involved in the energy field.
Following the meeting (6 pm UMC 247), we will be having a breakout session talking about the CU CleanTech New Venture Challenge . This is a DOE business plan competition hosted by CU that will award 4 teams $100,000 to start their business. After the meeting, a few local entrepreneurs will talk about how entrepreneurship fits into the energy space, and hopefully there will be brainstorming on possible ideas for the competition and team formation. This is a must attend event if you are interested in the completion.
