MARYLAND'S CLIMATE TECH PRE-ACCELERATOR: SUMMER 2023

Pre-Accelerator (TRL 1,2,3) - This program recruits faculty, students (graduate and undergraduate), and researchers from across Maryland, as well as early-stage Maryland businesses for a 2-month, part-time course. MEIA will match each team with one Energy Executive to form a Startup Team. Each Startup team will perform customer discovery and develop a business model canvas to determine if the market is interested in the technology and to inform product development directions. Positive feedback through this program makes a Startup Team eligible for the MEIA Launchpad.
