Bringing together researchers & corporations for 

R&D collaboration

The Kambria Global Innovation Fund facilitates collaboration between researchers and companies worldwide. Companies interested in making connections with top universities can access the fund to invest in advanced R&D. Researchers can put antiquated grant-writing behind and easily connect to much-needed capital.

Innovation Search

Companies can engage Kambria to search for solutions from university research teams that could meet their technological requirements.

Research Funding

Researchers can receive corporate funding for actionable research projects that are progressing technologies toward real-world applications in data science, AI, robotics and additive manufacturing.

Applying for grants is a huge pain point for professors and researchers since lengthy applications take an enormous amount of time, sometimes involving 80+ page proposals. Plus, funding is often limited to a school or a professor’s network because the majority of researchers lack time to cultivate funding from diverse sources.

Today, global success and dominance is associated with being a tech-first, innovative company. However, while many companies have monetary resources, they lack the expertise to build a capable R&D. In fact, the rich industry/academia relationships prevalent in Silicon Valley and other research hubs are extremely difficult for companies to bootstrap and replicate.

The Global Innovation Fund aims to change the antiquated grant application process and make R&D investment cross-border, scalable, and radically more efficient. 

Through the Fund, Kambria will leverage its academic and corporate networks to globally connect researchers looking for funding with companies seeking advanced technology resources.

The Fund provides short-term funding for actionable research projects that are progressing technologies toward real-world applications in the following areas:

Why Invest In University-Industry Collaboration?

Industry feedback and support to help take an invention from conception to market

Access to alternative funding sources, special facilities, insight into trends and product development expertise

Training and employment opportunities for students

Tackle broad societal issues and develop high-impact research projects that address real-world challenges

Business opportunities and new intellectual property created from the collaboration generate potential revenue to support more research activities

Access to world-class scientific credentials and expertise, specialized equipment and facilities, valuable IP portfolios, pre-publication access to research, and university’s networks

An opportunity to capture discoveries or know-how that can be converted into products or services of commercial value

Access to talent pools for future recruitment

10x better ROI than running a stand-alone R&D lab yourself, 50x better ROI than starting a new lab

New IP gained through collaborations on the platform
