Webinars and Jamathons Scheduled for Next Catalyst Competition Phase
The DOE Building Technologies Office (BTO) is partnering with the successful SunShot Catalyst crowdsourcing competition to find software solutions to key challenges in the area of building operations, with over $1.5 million in total prize awards on the table!
In the second ‘Business Innovation’ phase of the competition, entrepreneurs, developers, working professionals, mentors, makers, doers, and enthusiasts are invited to submit video pitches on software solutions to problem statements submitted in the first ‘Ideation’ phase of the initiative. The video pitches are due August 14, 2015. Note that while the ‘Ideation’ phase of the initiative has formally closed, you can still submit and vote on problem statements after logging on to the Catalyst website.
To help you better understand how the second ‘Business Innovation’ phase of the competition works, you are invited to participate in the following webinars—or you can jump straight to registering for a jamathon:
