The Navaris Medical entry was judged by a team of venture capitalists from the San Francisco Bay Area “Bay Area” redirects here. For other uses, see Bay Area (disambiguation). The San Francisco Bay Area, colloquially known as the Bay Area or The Bay . Criteria for the win was the best new technology with the greatest potential for a positive impact on society. Intel awarded the German team $25,000. In addition, NRG NRG Energy NRG NRG Energy, Inc.

Biodiesel is a liquid fuel source largely compatible with petroleum based diesel fuel. The most common method for its manufacture is synthesis by reacting a glyceride-containing plant oil with a short chain alcohol such from micro algae algae (ăl`jē) [plural of Lat. alga=seaweed], a large and diverse group of primarily aquatic plantlike organisms. These organisms were previously classified as a primitive subkingdom of the plant kingdom, the thallophytes (plants that growth technology. Third place was awarded to a Brazilian team for the vEYE, a navigation system A GPS-based electronic system in a car or truck that provides a real time map of the vehicle's current location as well as step-by-step directions to a programmed destination. See GPS and vehicle tracking. for visually impaired people for greater autonomy. A team from Russia was named "audience favorite" for its battery-free electronics. "These teams show how rich our global community is in its innovative and pioneering spirit," said William A. Swope, Intel Corporation (company) Intel Corporation - A US microelectronics manufacturer. They produced the Intel 4004, Intel 8080, Intel 8086, Intel 80186, Intel 80286, Intel 80386, Intel 486 and Pentium microprocessor families as well as many other integrated circuits and personal computer networking vice president and general manager, Corporate Affairs Group. "Technology reaches its highest calling when it helps people. These projects have expanded possibilities for people around the world." The competition was held at the Haas School of Business, in Berkeley, Calif., and hosted 21 teams from 11 countries. The program is designed to showcase global business opportunities that have the greatest potential for a positive impact on society through the deployment of new and truly innovative technologies. Not only does the winning team receive $25,000 and the winning title, but its members will also have direct visibility and interaction with more than 20 leading venture capitalist firms. Founded in 2005 through a collaboration between UC Berkeley and Intel, IBTEC seeks to support and promote entrepreneurship globally, predominantly in developing countries. This year, business plans included ground-breaking topics such as an optical mouse for secure electronic transactions and a biosensor A device that detects and analyzes body movement, temperature or fluids and turns it into an electronic signal. See lab on a chip and data glove. Biosensor tool that gives winemakers the ability to make real-time decisions in the tending of their vineyards. As part of Intel's Higher Education Program, The Intel+UC Berkeley Technology Entrepreneurship Education Program encourages and prepares students everywhere to become tomorrow's technology entrepreneurs. Teams are judged on their ability to make the greatest impact through the deployment of emerging and innovative technology products and services. Judges are selected from Bay Area venture firms with a global focus.
