Drawing on this broad range of interests, we are focused on building multi-organizational teams to achieve world-class solutions that benefit Ohio’s aerospace economy.

Our strengths make OAI a natural focal point for forming partnerships:

• Neutrality. As a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, OAI has no vested interest in the choice of research and technology efforts. Rather, our focus is on achieving consensus on partners’ needs and goals, and assuring that needs and goals are realized.
• Experience in working with government, industry and academia, especially in all aspects of contracting and subcontracting, as a single focal point for the effective, efficient distribution of consortium resources.
• Experience as highly effective facilitators. This allows us to bring competing organizations to consensus and craft appropriate teaming agreements that resolve issues relating to intellectual property, publication and data rights, and proprietary information up front – so there are no surprises.
• Technical expertise. Our subject matter experts permit us to achieve desired results as knowledgeable managers of consortia.

Since 1989, OAI has managed more than $150 million in collaborative activities and over 250 projects.

If you have technology development challenges that require complementary skills, or if you are focusing on pre-competitive research, OAI can help you identify the right team of collaborators from industry, universities, and federal laboratories.
