While each research and technology challenge requires its own unique team configuration, in broad terms OAI develops five types of teams: |
- Working Groups
- Pre-Competitive Research Consortia
- Shared Development/Multiple Application Consortia
- System Integration Teams
- Technology and Innovation Partnerships Exchanges
|
Working Groups
Recognizing that exploration is the first step in relevant technology development, OAI serves as an incubator for esoteric ideas and shared interests. Our networking and team building skills have been very successful in bringing together working groups which focus on promising research and development which may hold the potential for future commercialization. |
Successful examples of this type of collaborative team include |
|
Pre-competitive Research Consortia
OAI excels at forming pre-competitive consortia designed to address common objectives shared by multiple organizations, including organizations that are competitors in the marketplace. Typically, participating organizations will contribute resources that are pooled to fund research of common interest to all participants - and all participants share in and benefit from the results. |
Benefits to customers include: |
- Leveraging limited R&D dollars, especially for pre-competitive research and technology needs difficult to fund in a single company or organization.
- High quality research and technology development results, advancing the state of the art.
- Deliverables that can be customized to each participant’s unique product portfolio and market segment.
- Cross-organization collaboration and learning.

Shared Development/Multiple Application Consortia
Given our broad range of resources and participating organizations, OAI can work effectively to build Shared Development teams, where diverse groups of specialists can come together for application development around a common technology. |
Successful examples of this type of collaborative team include |
- GATE (Glenn Alliance for Technology Exchange) Research & Technology Innovation Platform
|
System Integration Teams
As OAI’s core mission is the advancement of Ohio’s aerospace economy, team-building which focuses on the commercialization of specific technologies is clearly a priority. Bringing together technology developers, commercializers and end users to develop cross cutting technology is a strength of OAI’s System Integration Teams. |
Successful examples of this type of collaborative team include |
- Advanced Film Capacitor Consortium (AFCC)
|
Technology and Innovation Partnerships Exchanges
OAI uses proven techniques to identify technologies ready for commercialization and to identify matches with industry partners ready to license or further advance the technology through focused application research programs. OAI’s neutrality ensures that we find the right partners to develop your technology and put in place the proper teaming agreements so that the intellectual property rights are transferred from researcher to commercializer at the successful completion of the project. |
Successful examples of this type of multi-organizational team include |
- GATE (Glenn Alliance for Technology Exchange)
