Consortia

We manage collaborative programs that enable clients to pool their R&D dollars for pre-competitive research that they can apply to their own products and services. Members gain more information together than typically possible through individual research. Current consortium topics range from automotive and aerospace applications, to oil and gas, robotics, and batteries and energy storage systems.
