Partnerships are mutually beneficial

To that end, the agreement between a partner and us must define clearly, the benefits accrued to each partner as well as what each brings to the party. These are legal and binding contracts intended to assure both parties understand exactly what is expected from the other. We do not want any unhappy partners, and the best way to avoid that is to have clear and purposeful agreements. These are intended in no way to impede the willingness and synergy in working together for joint goals.

Partners receive complementary copies of our newsletter as a way to stay informed about nanotechnology in general and about us.

Partnerships are a way to leverage other’s skills

We do not have all the skills and resources to accomplish all we want to do. Most organizations are in the same boat. By working together, partners can be greater than the sum of the parts. This is “leverage”, and by using it we can achieve things beyond our individual scopes.

Current partnerships

We currently do not have completed partnership agreements, but are looking forward to having several with various educational institutions in the region. We currently are in the process of generating a partnership agreement with Minnesota State College-Southeast Technical in Winona. They have embarked on a nanotechnology curriculum course that will utilize laboratory and other technical resources within RINTek.

Another partner is Winona State University and we are in the process of discerning the best way to describe our relationship with that Institution.
