Is there is a specific challenge you are trying to solve that has no current commercial solution and is a fundamental technical challenge necessary to advance the field? If yes, then Sponsored Research might be the right path for you.
With Sponsored Research, the first step is to connect with the Alliances team so we can help identify a potential researcher whose work aligns with the problem you are trying to solve. Once a match is found, you work directly with the researcher and their team to develop a scope of work.
Sponsored research projects explore the viability of approaches to solving the problem and can often produce information and knowledge that could be competitively significant to the sponsor.
