The format of the Academy is a five-day immersive program integrating lecture, exercises, and team projects.

Students work within inter-disciplinary teams to identify, design, and validate new business opportunities, under the guidance of faculty, technology transfer staff, and experienced entrepreneurs and investors from environmental science and technology-based ventures.
