More about FLoW:
In 2011, the California Institute of Technology led by the Resnick Sustainability Institute, in partnership with University of Southern California and the UC Los Angeles received a $360,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to accelerate cleantech innovation and foster student entrepreneurship through a Western Regional business plan competition. This consortium, called First Look West (FLoW), built upon the mission of the DOE Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) to improve energy efficiency and productivity and bring reliable, affordable clean technologies to market. During its first three years, FLoW attracted more than 240 teams, from over 30 universities in 16 states across the country. The competition established more than 12 companies, with substantial successes. More information can be found here.
