What does the Accelerator Program actually do? This engagement shows the funnel at work: a corporate portfolio of more than 100 emerging technologies, and a disciplined process for finding the one worth backing.

Executive selection narrowed the field from 100+ technologies to five — spanning camera/LiDAR fusion, quantum sensing, high-definition aerial display, and millimeter-wave sensing. Each then moved through the Applied Commercialization^® steps: framing what exists, generating applications, prioritizing opportunities, developing value propositions, and validating with customers.

One example from the program: camera-LiDAR fusion applied to detecting debris on airport runways — small, low-profile objects like rocks, rubber, and metal fragments that threaten aircraft safety — a validated need with a clear buyer. The output: one investment-ready opportunity with an executive-grade investment story.
