ENERGY2B

The project ENERGY2B is an innovation stimulating initiative that targets university students and encourages them to transform energy innovation ideas into new business start-ups.

The project’s infrastructure will be facilitated by a newly created internationally accessible web platform which will enable idea competitions at national and European level. Ten local competitions for energy-innovation ideas are offered on the ENERGY2B platform which can be entered via “plug and play” in five European countries (UK, PT, PL, SL, BG).

The best energy-innovations are selected for boot camp and follow up services given by business planning/energy/investment experts in the five countries. In parallel, 2 European idea competitions are organized, leading to the creation of high-level energy innovations that have the potential to be funded for start-up. Ten of the best energy-innovations will be showcased at local and European exhibitions and a special effort will be placed to facilitate the transformation of student ideas into “eco energy” innovations and related start-ups.
