Venture Lab Clean Tech Innovation Prize

The Venture Lab CLEAN TECH Innovation Prize seeks to recognize and bring together UC Berkeley engineers and scientists working on applied research and technology with commercial potential in the field of clean technology. Prizes will be awarded to teams that best demonstrate an innovative solution to one of today's pressing clean technology problems. The competition's winners will receive recognition for the work; more than $20,000 in cash awards and prizes; and strategic networking opportunities with venture capitalists and industry leaders. The competition is open to all UC Berkeley faculty, students, and staff as well as the staff of the Lawrence Berkeley Labs. Cal alumni and others may also participate if at least one team member is currently affiliated with UC Berkeley. Semifinalists will be announced on April 1. On the evening of April 8, semifinalist teams will make short presentations to a panel of judges from the clean tech community followed by an in-depth Q&A and the announcement of the winners.
