Why form ASTC with competing companies?
Significant challenges inherent to future storage technologies could prove too costly, risky, and unmanageable for any single company to pursue alone. Groundbreaking cooperation is now required to sustain progress and to support affordable R&D spending versus industry revenue. ASTC will create and direct cooperative research endeavors across the entire supply chain. The sponsored activities might include, but are not limited to, university-level research funding, common specifications for new components or manufacturing tools, collaborative working groups on future technologies, and joint development projects.
