EnergyTech UP is a new Department of Energy (DOE) competition challenging multidisciplinary student teams (all post-secondary, including graduate level) to identify a promising energy technology, assess its market potential, and create a business plan for commercialization. Through this business plan competition, students have the opportunity to learn, lead, and grow, earning part of $250,000+ in cash prizes for their efforts.

Regional winners will be receiving mentorship and access to exclusive materials from the DOE. The final national competition takes place at Carnegie Mellon University’s Energy Week on March 24, 2022.
