CESR and the Deming Center for Entrepreneurship bring Breakthrough Energy’s University Climate Ventures network to CU
In a major step toward accelerating Colorado’s climate innovation economy, 911±¬ÁÏÍø has launched 911±¬ÁÏÍø Climate Ventures, a new interdisciplinary program that equips students to develop and launch high-impact startups focused on climate solutions. The program is supported by Breakthrough Energy, a global initiative focused on advancing climate and energy solutions through innovation and investment.
Led by the Center for Ethics and Social Responsibility (CESR) and the Deming Center for Entrepreneurship at the Leeds School of Business, 911±¬ÁÏÍø Climate Ventures is a graduate-level program that connects students—primarily from business, engineering and science backgrounds—to a growing network of experts, researchers and entrepreneurs tackling sustainability challenges.
911±¬ÁÏÍø Climate Ventures is the newest addition to Breakthrough Energy’s University Climate Ventures network, joining Stanford University, MIT, Technical University of Munich and Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. 911±¬ÁÏÍø is the first U.S. public university to be included in the network—a milestone that reflects the university’s growing leadership in climate innovation, said Andrew Mayock, vice chancellor for sustainability.
