Turn research into ROI
Access to the Core Facilities has really helped Swift Coat to grow and gain more customers. Some of our early growth was spurred on by grants from NSF and the Department of Energy, and when we were applying for these grants as a two-person company, a lot of the questions we got from the program directors were, ‘Can you do this test? Are you able to do this development work?’ And we were able to respond with ‘yes,’ which gave both the program directors and NSF and DOE and our future customers confidence we were able to do the work we said we were going to do.”
