Hult Prize @UWaterloo Important Dates, How to Register & Finding a Mentor: The Next Steps
AE4H is supporting student teams at the University of Waterloo to compete in the $1 million Hult Prize Social enterprise competition! This year's competition is all about energy access - harnessing the power of energy to transform millions of lives. Teams are tasked with developing a social enterprise strategy that addresses energy poverty issues. AE4H Manager Nigel Moore is helping to advise student teams. Any interested students are encouraged to contact Nigel at npmoore@uwaterloo.ca.

A team representing the University of Waterloo will travel to the Hult Prize Regional Finals in March 2018 and the winners will go on to take their pitch to one of the 15 Regional Competitions around the world. Last year's UW team, Epoch, made it all the way to Global Finals and this year AE4H wants to help make your start-up a reality with $1,000,000 in start-up funding!
2018 Challenge: Transform – Harnessing the Power of Energy to Transform the lives of 10 million people
This year's Challenge is pushing you even further than previous Challenges, as it asks teams to do two things in parellel:
● Extend your reach: Search across campus, throughout town, and around the world to find the energy-driven technologies that are not realizing their potential to propel progress.
● Get out of the building: Find users and learn about their needs. Don’t just imagine how you can use energy to enable new capabilities—prove it.
Nigel is responsible for the successful management of the Affordable Energy for Humanity Global Change Initiative at WISE. This international research project focuses on addressing energy poverty through the development of low carbon energy systems that are responsive to the needs of the global populations that need them the most. Nigel's recent accomplishments in this field include June's Innovation Lab in Germany and acting as Co-Author and Lead Rapporteur on the OpenAccess Energy…

A Visual Inspection Guide to Detect Faulty Solar Products
SEPTEMBER 18, 2017
Stores in Malawi and likely other developing countries carry defective and even fraudulent solar photovoltaic panels. In places where quality standards are not enforced or do not exist, stores and suppliers can sell faulty products to poorly informed consumers. Used solar panels, broken panels, poorly constructed panels and even fake panels with paper made to look like PV cells can have…
Energy is the lifeblood of human society. By creatively harnessing energy we can transform it into clean water, food, jobs, and connectivity. The world has enough latent capacity for energy innovation to shift the trajectory of global development. The world needs more disruption that taps into those energy innovations to accomplish a second transformation: the transformation of lives. The 2018 Hult Prize is an invitation to student teams around the world to find and develop energy innovations that can be scaled to improve the lives of millions.
