Current areas of interest for platform investments

---

Industrial 3D Printing technology has improved at an exponential rate, while costs have fallen. Now, parts can be printed in exotic metals to support industries such as Aerospace and Medical Equipment. There is an opportunity to outsource this activity to a value-added, certified, production facility with existing industry relationships.

The falling cost of renewable power has driven sustainable growth and accelerated adoption. This emerging platform provides design & engineering, material distribution, battery testing, storage installation, maintenance and remote monitoring in specific geographies to support a network of residential, commercial, and community-based installers.

The U.S. physical infrastructure is in dire need of repair.  Failing roads, bridges, pipeline networks, utility lines, and communication networks are some of the structures that need of systemic upgrades.  There is an opportunity for value-added service providers focused on the repair and refurbishment of this critical foundation for much of our economic activity and social life. 

Specialty ingredient formulation, blending, packaging and logistics for both branded and private label products have been outsourced by large food & beverage manufacturers and retailers. Value-added services such as agglomeration, spray drying, and specialty packaging present strong opportunities in this vital market.

The need for credentialing checks and professional certification have become a vital activity for employers across multiple industries. Opportunities exist to participate in this niche activity as security requirements increase in mission critical industries such as Aviation, Healthcare, & Energy. 

Providing repair and refurbishment services for medical diagnostic and surgical equipment has fostered tremendous growth opportunities in both the domestic and international secondary markets.  Numerous applications in this $16 billion global market present opportunities to save lives, enhance productivity, and reduce costs.

The demand for products derived from advanced materials such as ceramics, glasses, polymers, composites, metals & alloys is estimated to grow rapidly due to rising demand of high-performance materials with properties including high specific strength, stiffness, excellent fatigue and abrasion resistance.
