Sponsored by the Office of Technology Transitions at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the EnergyTech University Prize (EnergyTech UP) is a collegiate competition challenging multidisciplinary student teams to develop and present a business plan that leverages DOE national laboratory-developed and other high-potential energy technologies.

As part of the American-Made Challenges program, EnergyTech UP awards more than $400,000 in cash prizes to student teams that successfully identify an energy technology, assess its market potential, and propose a strategy for commercialization.
