am8eY$> Alaska Airlines Environmental Innovation Challenge by February 13
Bring your skills or innovative ideas to create change in the environmental
space! 

The Alaska Airlines Environmental Innovation Challenge (EIC) is UW's annual
environmental startup competition hosted by the Buerk Center for
Entrepreneurship. This exciting, hands-on experience for both undergraduate
and graduate students is the place to bring your idea to life (think
circular economy, climate tech, SDGs, regenerative ag and more!) with the
help of local entrepreneurs and industry experts. Students who enter will
receive judges' feedback on their ideas, networking opportunities, and the
potential to win prize money. Enter the EIC with any product, process,
non-profit, or service idea that addresses an environmental problem. 

Questions? E-mail EIC manager Lauren Brohawn at brohal at uw.edu

Open to students attending an accredited college/university in WA, OR, ID,
AK and British Columbia
