Intrinsiq Materials partners with leading national and international companies very early in the technology and product development process to jointly bring the promise of BioSiliconTM and our scalable DC plasma process to commercial markets. We recognize that our technology development has to be focused on product performance goals that have real-world relevance and differentiate against incumbent technologies. We firmly believe that partnering with leading companies in our target markets is a critical element of this process. We bring a differentiating enabling technology and know-how, our partners bring deep expertise in their markets, products, and incumbent technologies. We firmly believe that more value is generated faster by combining these complementary capabilities.

The process to partnership typically starts with an introductory phase between decision makers at both companies and then enters into an iterative mutual learning phase between scientists and engineers from both companies. Detailed information on capabilities, applications, and commercial value is jointly evaluated. The outcome of this phase is a set of target applications where Intrinsiq’s capabilities promise to significantly impact existing or new product performance, and where this improved product performance promises to generate significant commercial value. With capabilities fit validated and value identified, we then jointly define a milestone-driven development program to achieve key product performance goals. This planning phase informs the contractual elements of the partnering process and development work commences as soon as the agreement is finalized.

Technology development takes place in our facilities with in-house scientists and engineers, supplemented by resources and know-how as needed from our partners. We work closely with our partners during the integration and scale-up phase.

Successful development partnerships have the following key attributes in our experience: a win-win mentality, mutual sharing and learning, effective program execution, and resource commitments commensurate with the challenge on hand. We look forward to agreeing these with you during the partnering process.
