Engaging for-profit entities in a pre-competitive framework for trust-building, innovation, and market intelligence in the utility sector targeting risk-aware industries in particular, the insurance sector.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is seeking to engage for-profit entities in a pre-competitive framework for trust-building, innovation, and market intelligence in the utility sector, targeting risk-aware industries, particularly the insurance sector. The Private Sector Engagement (PSE) Program aims to accelerate the integration of NASA's advanced capabilities into commercial operational frameworks and strategic decision-making processes. The program has identified a strategic opportunity to join the recently funded NSF-IUCRC consortium, the Center for Innovation, Risk, Catastrophe, and Decisions (CIRCAD). This membership would serve multiple strategic objectives, including trust building, market intelligence, collaborative development, and innovation pipeline. Some key points about this opportunity include: • The PSE Program is actively pursuing innovative pathways to accelerate the integration of NASA's advanced capabilities into commercial operational frameworks and strategic decision-making processes. • The program has identified a strategic opportunity to join the recently funded NSF-IUCRC consortium, the Center for Innovation, Risk, Catastrophe, and Decisions (CIRCAD). • This membership would serve multiple strategic objectives, including trust building, market intelligence, collaborative development, and innovation pipeline. • The program aims to facilitate substantive dialogue with IAB members and consortium leadership to co-create solutions that address real-world challenges. • The program aims to generate derivative projects and partnerships that expand the utilization of NASA ESD assets across the insurance industry applications, ultimately broadening commercial adoption and societal impact.
