Strategic Partnerships Leverage the established research partnerships with national labs (LLNL, ANL, ORNL, LANL, SNL) and Transient Plasma Systems to position VAST as a collaborator for government and large-scale industrial energy projects, creating co-sell and joint R&D opportunities with energy, aerospace, and materials customers.

Grid Reliability Highlight the FastRamp turbine’s rapid backup capability and emissions advantages to target utility-scale and microgrid operators seeking reliable, cleaner backup for solar and wind intermittency, especially in California and other emissions-conscious markets.

Low-Carbon Advantage Emphasize ~20% CO2 reduction relative to conventional gas turbine backups to attract sustainability-focused buyers in utilities, remote power, and industrial sites looking to meet decarbonization targets without significant performance trade-offs.

Growth Readiness With a small team yet revenue in the low-to-mid millions, pursue strategic partnerships and channel partnerships with larger EPCs and OEMs in renewable energy and power generation to scale deployment and access larger project opportunities.

Tech and Compliance Promote the company’s clean-tech positioning and compliance-ready technology stack to enterprise buyers, R&D centers, and regulatory-focused customers seeking proven, low-emission backup solutions backed by recognized laboratory collaborations.
