Are you an undergraduate or graduate student passionate about protecting and preserving the planet and interested in learning how to create an innovation or viable business that addresses critical sustainability issues?  We invite you apply to attend NCIIA's IdeaLab:  Retrofitting Communities. You'll learn how to develop and commercialize products and innovations that promote and support productive and environmentally sustainable communities.

Significant amounts of time and money are spent developing products to aid sustainable living when building a new property.  The challenge is that the vast majority of the population lives, and will continue to live, in houses and communities that are already built.  Unless innovations focus on retrofitting within a domestic environment, the potential impact of sustainable living will never truly be realized. IdeaLab: Retrofitting Communities will take you through a highly dynamic process proven to create viable initiatives and business concepts to tackle these challenges. Students from all majors and professional schools are encouraged to apply.  We are looking for applicants who want to take solutions to the marketplace.
