CIIE - Clean Energy Incubator in India

Clean Energy Incubator in India.

-Howie

Let me introduce you to the RE-Search program at CIIE, IIMA.
Renewable Energy Search is an endeavor by CIIE (IIM Ahmedabad) and MNRE (Government of India) to identify, encourage and incubate entrepreneurial ideas aimed at solving the energy crisis through use of existing clean energy related research.
You can find more details about our program at - http://re-search.in
Access to safe, reliable and sustainable energy is a huge problem across the developing world, including India.
At the same time it offers a fantastic opportunity for entrepreneurs to create wealth for themselves and the society.
We are always looking for smart people with bright ideas in the energy space, who want to startup in India.

We would love to hear from the community at Duke, in case they would like to enter energy space in India.
We provide incubation, funding, management support and networking opportunities to our entrepreneurs.
Look forward to hearing from you, on how we could possibly work together.

Regards
Phanindra

Thanks to Jozef for forwarding this to me.
A business plan competition.

INVITATION FOR European Business Club : 
Participate in the LAUNCH TOGETHER BUSINESS PLAN COMPETITION

 
 
Animesh,

I haven't yet heard back from you regarding the invitation for your student organization to participate in the Launch Together Business Plan Competition. When it comes to getting an idea off the ground, every little bit of support and capital helps (especially in economic times like these). The competition is a great way for members of European Business Club to earn cash to help cover the start-up costs for the ventures they're likely brewing. It's likely that you and your members, being the creative and industrious-types, have business plans already assembled. Why not put them to good use for a chance to earn a little more prize money?

Cost to enter? Nope- it's totally free. Catches or tricks? Negative- none of those either. 
Visit http://www.launchtogether.com for more information or follow the link below to view the official competition rules.

I handpicked European Business Club because I believe that ibovo, a soon-to-launch site for entrepreneurs, and the Launch Together Competition, are perfect for you and your members. ibovo will change the way entrepreneurs get together, making it possible for people or teams find potential partners across the world to start and grow their ventures. On the flip side, ibovo allows individuals with diverse experiences, skills and goals to find a venture they would like to participate in.

I hope you'll help to spread the word about ibovo and the Launch Together Business Plan Competition to your members. We've made it easy for you. Use the button below to get a ready-to-go email template and a competition flyer to print and distribute, or attach to an email.

As the ongoing contact person for you and the members of your group, I'm available to answer your questions or provide more details about Launch Together Competition. Please don't reply to this email. Instead, use the "Contact ibovo" button below (the message will be routed directly to me.) I can also be reached by phone. If you'd like to schedule some time to chat, just let me know.
 
Cheers,
Chris Gorgoni 
       
Launch Together Competition Coordinator, ibovo, LLC.

Howie,

Thought this might be worth letting people know about since it would require people to express interest this summer.  It's an opportunity to get some additional investor-side experience in evaluating projects and create a network with a very reputable group.  Hope your summer is going well and look forward to catching up soon!

Thanks,
Jonathan
