This competition is designed to encourage students to create cost effective alternative energy solutions that are scalable to all income levels, in the U.S. and beyond. Currently, most alternative energy solutions available in the market are not affordable to individuals in the median to low income range. The task is to develop affordable alternative energy solutions by learning from innovative approaches used in developing countries.
This competition is brought to you by the generous support of Richard Rosmarin, Managing Director of Cornerstone Management, a University of Michigan Engineering ’78 graduate, in partnership with the Center for Entrepreneurship and MPowered.

There will be a Mingle 'n' Match event for the competition on Friday, September 25th in Chrysler 249 for all those interested.
