ECE Students: Colorado Cleantech Venture Challenge

The international Colorado Cleantech Venture Challenge is sponsored by the Robert H. and Beverly A. Deming Center for Entrepreneurship at the University of Colorado at Boulder's Leeds School of Business. Student teams submit business plans that demonstrate venture-grade, for-profit business models, practices, and/or technologies with high growth potential; and provide innovative solutions, services or products in the cleantech sector that reduce environmental impacts or improve ecological sustainability.
