The Ignite Clean Energy 2010 kickoff is in 11 days on February 24, but I participated in the preview last Thursday. The ideas for new innovations were impressive! Eight people explained their concepts for products or services in cleantech and energy efficiency, and outlined the skills they’d like to add to their teams.
The enthusiasm and collaborative spirit were invigorating. Participants discussed the concepts and ways they could help with a team’s project. Many presenters are recent graduates, a few are students, and others are mature professionals pursing the next great thing.
Run by the MIT Enterprise Forum, the Ignite Clean Energy (ICE) business plan competition is one of the most prestigious renewable energy competitions in the US.
The ICE program comprises a year-long training and competitive forum for entrepreneurs in the clean energy industry. It provides collaboration, mentoring and visibility for new product concepts.
Thursday’s ICE teambuilding preview was held at the Harvard Business School after the HBS Cleantech Alumni panel.
