MIT Sloan School of Management announced yesterday that it will host an innovative clean energy workshop for senior-level executives in May. The workshop, entitled Clean Energy Ventures: Creating Innovative New Businesses through Entrepreneurial Management, will take place from May 2nd through 6th and will include interactive teaching sessions led by globally recognized experts in the field.
Through a range of sessions – including live current case studies, visits to groundbreaking companies in the field of clean tech and reviews of best practices – participants will learn to spot and support new innovation and clean energy venture opportunities. They will also learn to leverage new technology and innovations for greatest impact.
This new workshop is just one of the most recent examples of MIT Sloan’s commitment to clean energy. In October 2009, the Global Consortium of Entrepreneurship Centers (GCEC) recognized the MIT Entrepreneurship Center for its achievements in the area of energy entrepreneurship and education, which include five courses directly related to clean energy innovation. President Barack Obama spoke at the center later that same month, recognizing MIT as central to efforts to solve pressing clean energy issues. MIT was also ranked the number one cleantech university in the United States by the Cleantech Group in January 2010.
