Social and Environmental Technologies Inventors Challenge
The SET competition, is a prize for a business plan for a new social or environmental technology. The idea is to bring together innovators with business students to look at how to commercialise technologies.
I think this is a great idea, as many innovations never get off the ground because of the lack of business skills of the inventors.
This is the first year of the prize, with full plans due March 31st 2005.
See www.set-info.com for more info.
(Full Disclosure - I'm a volunteer advisor to the competition).
