Working with us
The NAVIN Consortium will be the focal point for both pre-competitive and proprietary research and development activities, and is envisioned to be an international forum promoting the advancement of a broad range of emerging nanotechnologies for use by the global aerospace industry.
The NAVIN Consortium will be seeking and evaluating areas of technological value for commercial and defense aircraft, helicopter and space vehicles manufacturers on high-priority projects of common interest and concern in which emerging nano-technology enabled solutions can be the answer to the challenging problems and "pain points" of the global aerospace industry.
In the past and even currently, most of these stakeholders are disconnected from each other and do not see the mutual benefit of cooperating with each other and creating a coordinated strategy whereby everyone benefits by removing many of the inefficiencies associated with the status quo. Therefore, working downwards from the end-customer in the technology development pipeline, the individual value propositions for each participating stakeholder is described in the IRC.
Business Model
The NAVIN Consortium IRC will be the "engine" for implementing the smoothly-functioning technology development pipeline that translates "push" NT materials, sensors and systems to application-driven "pull" technologies, orchestrating the key elements of the solution space. In the pursuit of this goal, the IRC serves as a bridge between CANEUS Industry partners and the Academic Institutions both in India and Canada as well as global partners in other countries.

Value Proposition for IRC Stakeholder
Close collaborations with CANEUS Consortium Industry partners ensures that the concepts being developed by the NAVIN Consortium IRC will eventually find a home in system-level applications being pursued by the industry sponsor. The NAVIN CONSORTIUM IRC will further bring about tremendous economic benefit to the region by spurring the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises centered on the CeNSE hub and the large end-users supporting it.
Benefits to industry partners include:
· Opportunity to direct early stage R&D towards future aerospace goals.
· Opportunity to develop a robust "ecosystem" consisting of early TRL R&D, Mid TRL SMEs part of the industry supply chain and High TRL transition to own manufacturing and system integration.
· Demonstrate the deep impact of ongoing and planned investments into the development of academic institutions and SMEs for the aerospace supply chain within India.
Additionally, partners are assured of the following benefits:
· Cost and risk mitigation: Access to jointly developed pre-competitive technology development
· Participation in collaborative technology, product and business development environments
· Licensing access to a fair and equitable IP-brokering service
· Reduced time-to-market and rapid system-level product deployment through supply chain development and collaboration
· Access to CANEUS forums/conferences as key networking platforms to address relevant issues
· Access to CANEUS' global "technology portal" that identifies state-of-the-art nanotechnologies
Last but not least, the strong ties to India represent access to an extremely large and rapidly growing market for new products and systems within the Aerospace and Energy sectors. Through robust collaborations between CeNSE and its academic and industrial counterparts, the Consortium will be able to provide the industry partner a significant multiplier on the utilization of their Offset funds.
