Strategic Partnerships RENCI is an interdisciplinary research institute affiliated with UNC Chapel Hill and collaborates with Duke and NC State. Sales opportunities exist in expanding partnerships with major universities, research consortia, and state institutions to co-develop data infrastructure, cyberinfrastructure training, and shared research platforms.

Public Data Infrastructure Recent NSF funding for Proto-OKN and public-data infrastructure initiatives signals demand for scalable data management, open knowledge networks, and data sharing solutions. Target federal and state-funded research organizations and large-scale laboratories seeking open, interoperable data ecosystems.

Cyberinfrastructure Training Awarded NSF support to develop cyberinfrastructure training for X-ray scientists highlights opportunities to offer specialized courses, certification programs, and hands-on workshops around HPC, data analytics, and reproducible research practices for science teams.

Industry and Public Engagement Partnerships with science museums and public engagement initiatives show potential for technical consulting, data visualization, and public-facing digital experiences. Consider sales of data science tooling, storytelling platforms, and educational outreach infrastructure.

Scale and Funding Readiness With revenue in the multi-million range and ongoing NSF funding, RENCI demonstrates capacity and credibility to undertake funded research projects, contract research, and scalable technology deployments for large researchers, universities, and government agencies.
