An interesting article on 8/15/15 by Robert Sanders in the Berkeley News on a $100,000 investment “infusion” in clean tech for student teams.
“Berkeley Cleantech University Prize (CUP), which will fund the teams during the fall semester as they take advantage of the campus’s incubators and accelerators, which are now primarily helping UC Berkeley students launch start-ups.”

This is part of a DOE $2.5M grant to fund clean tech.
