The 2008 – 2009 yunus challenge…
innovative small-scale energy storage solutions

The MIT International Development Initiative is excited to announce the 3rd year of the Muhammad Yunus Innovation Challenge to Alleviate Poverty. Each year, the Yunus Challenge highlights a need of the world’s poor and enables MIT students to develop solutions through a variety of mechanisms, including Public Service fellowship grants, the IDEAS Competition and D-Lab. The Challenge, named in honor of 2006 Nobel Prize winner Dr. Muhammad Yunus, was initiated and also supported by MIT alumnus Mr. Mohammed Abdul Latif Jameel, supporter of the MIT International Development Initiative, and benefactor of the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab at MIT (J-PAL).
