ABOUT THE CLEAN ENERGY CHALLENGE

Clean Energy Trust is proud to present the 4th annual Clean Energy Challenge!

After an intensive mentorship program, on April 3rd these finalists will pitch their disruptive businesses to a judging panel of venture capitalists, corporate investors and business leaders.

This year we are offering our largest award amounts in the history of the event-- thanks to our generous sponsors. Up to $500,000 in prizes will be awarded this year; including a $100K prize from Wells Fargo, a $50K aviation bio fuels prize from United, Boeing, and UOP Honeywell, a $20K women CEO prize from ComEd, and a $25K prize from McCaffrey Interests.

Grand prize winners in the Student track will receive a $100,000 cash prize, sponsored by the US Department of Energy-- and go on to compete in the national competition in Washington D.C.

We are so grateful to our judges, mentors, advisers, partners, and sponsors who help us showcase the best and most cutting edge clean energy innovations being developed in the Midwest.
