The Wisconsin Energy and Sustainability Challenge (WESC) is a student competition aimed at advancing creative ideas in energy and environmental sustainability. More than $10,000 in prizes will be awarded to students competing at WESC through two different categories: Clean Technology and Sustainability. The competition is open to all students, and solutions can be in many forms: a new technology, start-up company, social enterprise, or campaign – anything that can show progress to a sustainable future.

Infosession and clean tech commercialization talk

Join us for an info session on the competition, and hear from an industry expert on ways to bring your idea to fruition. Jennifer Gottwald, Senior Licensing Manager at the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF), will discuss the different pathways of commercializing clean technology and some of the unique challenges in doing so.

The 2018 WESC will be held on February 23, 2018 in conjunction with the 2018 Energy Hub student conference.
