Latin America and the Caribbean countries have seen a fair share of development in terms of medium sized renewable energy installations, including solar photovoltaic and wind energy projects.  There is however a tremendous opportunity for hybrid energy systems that combine solar electric, solar thermal, bio-mass, wind and other renewable energy sources. These opportunities exist for mega-sized projects that would serve large scale municipal and industrial needs, as well as micro-energy projects for individual village homes or farms.  The theme of the Macro-Hybrid, and Micro-Hybrid sub-topics is to expand the role of renewable energy in both of these areas.

The Manufacturing Innovation through Sustainable Design Institute will be held in Universidad Del Norte in Barranquilla, Colombia and will bring together 12 lecturers from Colombia, Panama, Ecuador, Chile, and the United States together with 28 graduate and post-doctoral students, and junior faculty from the United States and Latin America.
