For venture capital firms, we offer innovative ideas with the potential for commercialization opportunities and consulting services for prospective and existing investments.
For government entities, we offer research expertise and collaborations with national labs.
For philanthropists, we offer an exciting way to make significant contributions toward bettering the environment and improving the world around us.
