The Center of Excellence for Energy, supported by the American people through USAID and operated by ASU, awarded six teams seed funding for their renewable energy ventures. Led by Brent Sebold, director of Entrepreneurship + Innovation, or E + I, at the Fulton Schools, the event was the culmination of a six-month E + I program featuring two seminars, selection of six venture teams based at Egyptian partner universities, five months of mentoring by ASU faculty and the exciting conclusion in a “Shark Tank”-style Venture Development Program Demo Day.
