Project Energy2B is an innovation stimulating initiative that targets university students and encourages them to turn energy innovation ideas into reality via new business start-ups. The Energy2B website platform enabled idea competitions at national and European level. Ten local competitions for energy innovation ideas were offered on the Energy2b platform in five European countries (UK, PT, PL, SI and BG). The best energy innovations were selected for boot camp and follow up services given by energy / business planning / investment experts in the five countries. In parallel, 2 European idea competitions were organized, leading to the creation of energy innovations that have the potential to be funded for start-up. Ten of the best energy innovations were showcased at local and European exhibitions and efforts made to facilitate the transformation of student ideas into “eco energy” innovations.

The project started in May 2009 and was completed in April 2012. Energy2B was co-funded by the European Commission programme Intelligent Energy Europe.

  • Website platform to facilitate local & European idea competitions regarding energy innovations
  • Framework for idea competitions, boot camps and follow-up services for studentsDatabase of ideas in the field of energy innovations
  • Students experience entrepreneurship and creativity regarding ideas in the field energy innovations
