Are you a startup sitting on valuable process technology? Learn how to turn your IP into revenue without heavy capital investment – 1. Emphasise Human Capital: Licensing is relationship-driven. Effective project management, training, and support are crucial for successful technology transfer. 2. Develop a Comprehensive PDP: A well-managed Process Design Package (PDP) should be continuously updated to stay competitive and ensure operational success. 3. Implement Value-Based Pricing: Share the estimated benefit of the new technology with the licensee through transparent upfront fees and royalties. 4. Mitigate High Capital Risks: Use strategies like close plant support, royalty-based fees, licensor equity stakes, and warranties to ease the risk for the first licensee. 5. Leverage Mature Technology: Partner with preferred contractors to increase reach and integration when your technology matures. 6. Integrate Licensing with Equipment Deals: If specialist equipment is key, include the licence as part of the equipment deal for seamless implementation.

We're delighted to hear this news. Greenbackers Investment Capital have been big believers, pretty much since the start of their journey!
We are excited to announce a new commercial partnership that marks a significant step forward for Kitemill AS. Kitemill <> AirDodge Kitemill has entered into a commercial agreement with AirDodge. This partnership focuses on integrating AirDodge’s advanced U-Space services into our UAS operations. The integration of these services will enhance our drone operations, particularly in the context of flying drones parallel to manned air traffic. This collaboration aims to establish the operational concept of U-Space, enabling a larger volume for Kitemill's drone operations. What This Means for the Future This partnership is a major milestone in our journey to establish Kitemill as a leader in U-Space operations in the Nordics. By working closely with AirDodge, we will be able to pioneer the first instances of U-Space operations in Norway. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue on this exciting journey! #Kitemill #AirDodge #USpace #DroneTechnology #Innovation #Partnerships #Aviation #netzero

Ahem! With apologies and the greatest respect to The New York Times and Minho Kim, YES, turbine blades in landfill are a significant problem, but a solution IS ALREADY HERE, deployed in the UK and scaling up. Check out ReBlade Limited in action. Great solution. Greenbackers are leading their current funding round.
Turbine Blades Have Piled Up in Landfills. A Solution May Be Coming.

This is tragic, c'mon, we so don't have time or £€$ to waste on CCS propping up fossil fuel production at the expense of viable, investable cleantech solutions. Greenbackers Investment Capital is backing over 20 investment grade tech ventures. If you're serious about carbon reduction, talk to us! And consider Harjeet Singh, director at the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative: “While investing billions in technologies that further entrench fossil fuel use, developed countries simultaneously neglect their moral and financial responsibilities to fund crucial efforts in vulnerable communities … that’s the grim irony.”

Picture an economy larger than 93% of countries, growing rapidly, and crucial to our planet's future. This is the $2.5 trillion ‘Blue Economy’. At Greenbackers, we recognise the vast potential of the Ocean, and its resources and are committed to harnessing it responsibly. Central to our approach are the Sustainable Blue Economy Finance Principles, a framework we've proudly supported for three years. These principles offer crucial guidance for investors navigating the blue economy. Why are these principles pivotal for investors? 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗸 𝗠𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Provides a framework for assessing environmental and social risks in ocean-linked investments. 𝗟𝗼𝗻𝗴-𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: By promoting sustainable practices, they ensure the longevity of blue economy investments. 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝘁: They encourage investment in addressing pressing ocean challenges. 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: The principles foster clear reporting and stakeholder engagement, crucial for responsible investing. 𝗔𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗚𝗼𝗮𝗹𝘀: They help direct capital towards achieving SDG 14 (Life Below Water) and other relevant SDGs. Greenbackers are recognised by the United Nations as one of the pioneering organisations comprising the Founding Signatories of the Principles - As signatories, we've witnessed how these principles shape a more sustainable blue economy. From emerging aquaculture technologies to ocean energy solutions, we're seeing an influx of investable opportunities that align with these guidelines. We invite fellow investors to join us in championing these principles. By doing so, we can collectively drive innovation, sustainability, and profitable growth in the blue economy sector.
