Solar Tycoon

Solar Tycoon is a multiplayer simulation game teaching students how to run a company.

In Solar Tycoon, each player owns a solar panel producing firm, and has to compete with other players to make their firm the most thriving in the industry. They have to analyze the market, strategize, carry out their plans and take risks.

Solar Tycoon is a fun way of learning how to run your company, and gives insight on how small changes can have a mayor impact on market position. If the government is giving grants to customers for buying solar panels, this might seem like extra easy money, but it could actually result in you losing potential costumers.

Are you able to think through, plan ahead and react fast? Solar Tycoon will put you to the test.

Solar Tycoon features:

• Different types of solar panels, each with their own benefits and drawbacks
• Control over production and profit margins
• Product and process innovation possibilities
• A competitive and ever-changing market
• An administrator who is able to change nearly everything in the game, including the introduction of new types of machines

Solar Tycoon is made for students of the Utrecht University Bachelor program on Science and Innovation Management, and can therefore not be played by outsiders!
