A 2009 P3 Team.

By Presidential Proclamation, today is National Entrepreneurship Day, and we want to give a quick shout out to all the innovative entrepreneurs creating sustainable solutions to environmental challenges.

These are people like our Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) awardees and our People, Prosperity, and the Planet (P3) college students. EPA supports these entrepreneurs so they can use their scientific and engineering know how to create jobs while making our planet greener and our lives healthier.
