Technology Partnerships and Investments
Technology is and will continue to be a powerful force in how and when markets change because it is the one aspect in every industry that advances at a never ending rate. There is no predictable end to the innovations that will arise through the changes of technology, making it a critical indicator for what the future may hold. Forecasting the future of technology is for dreamers who hope to innovate better tools — and for the mainstream people who hope to benefit from that which is new and improved. Many inventions are born in the lab and never make it into the consumer market, while others evolve beyond the pace of putting good regulations on their use.
As uncertainties of the future unfold and leading-edge technologies impact markets, both directly and indirectly, we believe that we must renovate our process of decision making and planning to prepare for the future, not the present.
At NAEG, technology is at the forefront of our planning process whether it’s investment, acquisition, joint collaboration or infrastructure development applications. We pursue investment and development opportunities with technology providers and innovators in the following sectors:
We consider financial participation in research programs or private equity investments into technology development companies that meet certain standards. We perform a qualitative and quantitative analysis on select opportunities before considering them for our portfolio.
