University of NH professors Ross Gittell and Venky Venkatachalam, and Matt Pierson, chairman of the NH High Tech Council, will introduce the Green Launching Pad, a collaborative green energy commercialization program. This program provides up to $90,000 per winning team to launch a clean business venture over the course of this upcoming summer in an intense program. Details are available at www.greenlaunchingpad.org.
This competitive program, a partnership with the State of NH, will be administered by the University and accessible to NH entrepreneurs and businesses whose projects address the commercialization of energy efficiency, energy conservation, renewable energy, and sustainable energy projects. The Green Launching Pad will accelerate the development of new green businesses and the growth of those existing businesses that will directly reduce energy use and carbon emissions while creating new jobs and economic opportunity. The Green Launching Pad is made possible with funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
