Cleantech Challenge kick-off

Date and time:
7 December, 2011, 18:00 - 22:00

Location:
Yes!Delft HQ, TU Delft Campus

The Cleantech Challenge originated in London in 2009 as a student competition designed to nurture innovative ideas. The competition process propels those ideas to a level where the concept can start to attract funding. For the first time this competition has a Dutch counterpart and after completion of the Dutch CTC the winning team has the opportunity to compete at the international finals in London.

The Cleantech Challenge provides entrepreneurial students first and foremost with an incredible opportunity to test the strength and viability of their start‐up concept on both a local and international platform. In order to create a powerful team the competition encourages students with technical and business backgrounds to integrate their experience and expertise. The new ventures are based on real technological opportunities and require the best of both worlds in students.

“It’s an inspiring challenge, and we are delighted to have Holland host as a national semi‐final for the first time this year! “ 

Jeff Skinner, Executive Director, Deloitte Institute of Innovation and Entrepreneurship at the London Business School
