Partnership
Unleashing phenomenal innovation through strategic collaborations.
Partnership Models
Collaboration with NanoMalaysia and MTDC on resources, and expertise to develop and market energy-efficient technology through grants and sandbox funding. Governments play a significant role in funding research programs related to climate change and sustainability and these national agencies to-date have funded Proof of Concepts (Product Development), Scale-Up Development and Market Validation.
Multiple organizations, including academic institutions, industry partners, and sometimes government entities, form a consortium or alliance to pool resources and expertise for large-scale collaborative research projects.
Collaboration between organizations from different sectors, such as academia, industry, government, and non-profit organizations. This model fosters interdisciplinary approaches to address complex challenges.
Formal agreements between two or more organizations to create a new entity for a specific research project. Joint ventures often involve shared ownership, risks, and rewards.
Non-binding agreements between organizations to collaborate on specific projects or areas of research. These alliances are flexible and allow partners to maintain their independence while working towards common goals.
Transfer of technology or intellectual property from one organization to another. This model often involves licensing agreements where one party grants the other the right to use, modify, or sell the technology.
Blue Snow FT has an on-going CRA (Consulting Research Agreement) with MOSTI (Ministry of Science Technology and Innovation) via its agency NanoMalaysia Berhad to develop an enhanced thermal management system for electric vehicles utilizing its proprietary AQUENE Heat Transfer Fluid and redesigning the heat exchanger.
Embracing external sources of innovation by collaborating with external partners, including startups, research institutions, and individual researchers. Open innovation encourages the sharing of ideas and resources.
Informal or formal networks where organizations collaborate within a specific geographic area or industry sector. Research and development clusters often emerge to facilitate knowledge exchange and collaborative initiatives.
Collaboration between research institutions and philanthropic organizations or foundations. These partnerships often focus on addressing social or health-related challenges.
Organizations collaborate on research activities that do not directly compete with each other. This allows pre-competitive sharing of knowledge and resources to advance an entire industry.
Collaborative efforts between organizations from different countries to address global challenges. International partnerships may involve joint research projects, student exchanges, and shared facilities.
Sponsor Research
Collaboration with private companies, including corporations, venture capital firms, and impact investors, can provide significant funding for research programs. Private sector involvement may lead to the development of marketable solutions and technologies.
Nonprofit organizations and philanthropic foundations are instrumental in funding research initiatives focused on climate change and sustainability. These entities often support projects that align with their mission and goals.
International organizations, such as the United Nations, the World Bank, and regional development banks, allocate funds for global climate change and sustainability research initiatives. These organizations facilitate cross-border collaborations.
Revenue generated through carbon markets and trading mechanisms can fund sustainability research. Carbon offset projects and initiatives that contribute to emission reduction may attract investments from companies seeking to meet environmental targets.
Many corporations allocate funds as part of their CSR initiatives to support research programs aligned with sustainability and climate goals. This can include funding for academic institutions, research projects, or partnerships with nonprofit organizations.
Universities and research institutions often use endowments, donations, and grants to fund climate change and sustainability research programs. These funds support faculty research, student projects, and the development of sustainable practices on campus.
Online crowdfunding platforms enable researchers to raise funds directly from the public. This model allows individuals, communities, and organizations to contribute small amounts collectively to support specific research projects.
Impact investors seek financial returns alongside measurable social and environmental impacts. Research programs focused on climate change and sustainability may attract impact investment, especially when they demonstrate potential positive outcomes.
Collaborative efforts involving multiple stakeholders, such as government agencies, private companies, nonprofits, and community groups, can pool resources and expertise to fund comprehensive research programs.
Blue Snow participated in competitions and challenges related to climate change and sustainability, which helps open-up funding opportunities, recognition, and access to additional resources. In May 2023, AQUENE won the Malaysian Innovative Product Award (MIPA) at ITEX 2023 held in KLCC.
