GEW: Calling All Sustainability Innovators - Turn Ideas Into Action

You have a clean tech or sustainable idea that could make a real impact — whether it is a new device, a software tool, or a solution that saves energy, reduces waste, or protects our environment.  But you don’t know how to start.  Let us help you with that.

​During Global Entrepreneurship Week powered by Western Health Advantage, the Carlsen Center, Urban Technology Lab, and Cleanstart are hosting a hands-on workshop to help you shape your idea into something real — no matter what stage you are in.

​Together, we will explore how to refine the problem you want to solve, identify who will benefit from your solution, and outline the first steps in designing or prototyping your concept.

​What You Will Learn

  • ​Define the sustainability problem you want to solve
  • ​Shape an idea into a solution people will want to adopt
  • ​Understand basic prototyping and early product development
  • ​Communicate your solution clearly and confidently
  • ​Identify your next steps to build momentum
