NexTech has a robust R&D program, funded partially through government grants and contracts. Major customers include Department of Energy, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy, Department of Commerce, National Science Foundation, and the State of Ohio. Awards are typically highly competitive and in some cases are restricted to companies with less than 500 employees. Proposals are typically reviewed by recognized scientists and business experts familiar with the area of development. NexTech’s win ratio on the awards is typically over 30 percent, based on its innovation, sound business practices, and reputation for execution. Some of the prestigious awards that have been won by NexTech include two NIST ATP awards, five Ohio Third Frontier Awards, and many military small business innovative research awards. NexTech frequently partners with commercial entities to develop technology.
