Engineers and scientists around the world are using the National Instruments graphical system design platform to make a positive impact on the global ecosystem. Known as green engineering, this approach involves the use of advanced measurement and analysis to design, develop, and improve products, technologies, and processes to achieve environmental and economic benefits. NI supports green engineering by providing tools that empower engineers and scientists to meet some of the greatest challenges today, including providing energy from fusion, making solar and wind energy more economical, and capturing and recycling waste.

Hosted the inaugural Energy Technology Summit at NIWeek with 671 attendees
Kicked off R&D projects to develop a LabVIEW toolkit for smart grid applications
Provided grants for $900,000 USD in software and training services to 40 clean-tech start-up companies
Trained 2,400 fewer engineers than anticipated on green engineering principles because of a reduction in the number of online events
Develop and release innovative products to aid customers in creating smart grid technologies
Teach green engineering principles to 5,000 engineers through free virtual and on-site events
Create resources on engineering best practices for wind turbine monitoring, inverter technologies, and smart grid development
