Startup Green is a groundbreaking incubator and accelerator programme presented as part of AREDAY, the American Renewable Energy Institute's leadership conference held each summer in Aspen, Colorado. It focuses on ready-to-scale renewable energy innovations.

For the 2016 programme, over ten teams presented startup business projects focused on scaling renewable energy solutions, ranging from micro-solar metering to applications that track the construction and building process for infastructure.

The winner, Wave Solar Technologies, presented an all-in-one solution for distributed home energy, heating and cooling - securing a 5,000 Ven grand prize interest from venture capital investors present at AREDAY.
