About The Cleantech Challenge
The annual PSU Cleantech Challenge is a showcase of the innovative spirit fostered at PSU. Students from across disciplines come together each year to solve some of the most significant issues our communities face today. Students are supported throughout their journey with mentorship, coaching, and prototyping funds. Throughout the next few months, teams will work through processes such as design thinking, business modeling, and market research in order to get to the prototype-building phase for their ideas and pitch at the Cleantech Finals. The top two teams will be invited to further their prototype during the Invent Oregon competitions.
Do you have a prototype idea that will create a positive environmental or social impact? Do you want to solve real-world problems (like climate change and accessibility)? Then the Cleantech Challenge is the perfect opportunity for you to bring your ideas to life with a development grant, mentorship, and workshops!
