Alternative Energy Forums

There is a great opportunity for business capacity building and mentoring for social entrepreneurs solving energy needs in developing countries.

The Global Social Benefit Incubator, run by Santa Clara University’s Center for Science, Technology, and Society, invites innovative social entrepreneurs to apply to take their social venture to the next level with the help of Silicon Valley start-up veterans and Santa Clara University faculty.

This year, the GSBI will have a special emphasis on enterprises that aim to provide electricity to the under-served in developing countries. Up to one-third of the Incubator spaces are being targeted for social entrepreneurs bringing innovative solutions addressing the unmet needs of people and communities who are off the grid or suffer frequent disruptions in their energy supply.
