The Official 2009 Al Gore Sustainable Technology Venture Competition™, will be held at IIT, Kharagpur, November 6-7, 2009. Now in its second year, the competition invites students from India’s apex institutes of engineering, science and technology, and management, such as its fabled IITs, IIMs and NITs to come up with new and renewable sustainable technology business plans to combat climate change and fortify India’s — and, by analogy, the world’s — crucial energy security. The Chair and Founder of the competition, Oopali Operajita, thought up and named the unique and exclusive All India sustainable technology competition for Al Gore, after personally connecting with one of Gore's top advisers from his tenure in the White House.
ASSOCHAM, India's leading industry body, is the industry partner. Mercedes-Benz India is the official sponsor.
