Networking and Resource Nights
We recommend that UW Environmental Innovation Challenge teams attend Resource Nights during winter quarter. Resource Nights are on Thursdays from 6 - 7:30 p.m. The Networking Night is an excellent place to find a team or an additional team member.
The Resource Nights are offered by the UW Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship and bring in experts from the local entrepreneurial community to teach the various aspects of writing and presenting a business plan. They are intended to prepare students to compete in the Business Plan Competition, which takes place in spring quarter. These sessions are open to students and the public.
