Join us in Austin on April 3 for the National Pitch Event!

The final event of the EnergyTech University Prize 2023 is happening Monday, April 3, at Zpryme’s Energy Thought Summit in Austin, Texas! 

At the National Pitch Event, the prize’s 15 Regional Winners and one National Lab Technology IP Licensing Bonus Prize Winner will present their innovative energy-focused business pitches to a panel of industry judges in the hopes of  becoming a National Winner and winning one of three awards: 

• 1^st place: $50,000
• 2^nd place: $30,000
• 3^rd place: $20,000

During the live pitches, each team will have 10 minutes to present, followed by five minutes of Q&A from the judges. After pitches conclude, judges will deliberate and select the top three teams. The U.S. Department of Energy Office of Technology Transitions will then announce winners live around 5:30 p.m. CT.

In addition, four Bonus Prize Winners will present for 5 minutes during a lunchtime plenary. 

Learn more about the event, view the schedule of team pitches, and - on April 3, access the link to the event livestream. After the event concludes, we will post here—on HeroX—which teams are named National Winners. Good luck to all the competing teams!
