NUvention Energy provides students an authentic experience of developing new business ideas in the sustainable energy and energy efficiency sector. Over an intense quarter, graduate students from schools across campus come together in interdisciplinary teams to develop a product or service: from concept, through market and environmental life-cycle analyses, culminating in a business pitch to take the product or service to market. Consistent with the NUvention approach, student teams develop their own business ideas, rather than consult to companies to develop company ideas or technologies. Projects come from Northwestern or Argonne National Laboratory, from industry and not-for-profit partners, and from students themselves. By simulating the product/service and business development process, NUvention Energy helps students develop creative, interpersonal, business, and technical skills.
