Developing strategic partnerships is important as it allows us to leverage our considerable R&D technology and federal funding know-how with companies that have facilities, commercial practices, or other complementary technologies. Several examples of our partnering are as follows:
- National Laboratories - We are currently working with researchers at Sandia National Laboratory and Oak Ridge National Laboratory. We share in their expertise and use their facilities.
- Universities - We are currently working with a number of universities.
- Private Companies - We work with a number of companies that provide us with a site to conduct a demonstration, license our technologies, and provide expertise and services to augment our staff.
