SNS Project Inkwell™: The first global vendor consortium to research and design the use of appropriate technology in K12 classrooms; convened by SNS in 2003. Input sources included students, teachers, administrators, governors, nonprofit leaders, and Cabinet-level officials from Britain, Europe, the U.S., and Australia. Inkwell’s “Spark” design for a K12 computing device, developed by consortium member IDEO, has won design awards in the U.S. and Europe. Today, Inkwell has become a catalyst for ensuring implementation of these transformations.

INVNT/IP: The Inventing Nations vs. Nation-sponsored Theft of IP global consortium was initiated by SNS in 2011 after SNS research led to the discovery, and publicizing, of the China national business model, including its core requirements for stolen or extorted IP from other nations. It is the goal of the INVNT/IP to reduce these practices, in order to protect the ROI of inventing companies and countries, as well as that of the global economy.

Patter: Uses its proprietary Pattern Discovery Engine™ to solve the most important and most intractable problems in business and medicine. Its proprietary mathematical techniques can find complex patterns in very high-order data that have eluded detection by much larger systems. As the company applies its computational platform to the challenging fields of drug discovery and diagnostics, it is also making major pattern discoveries for partners in many other sectors, including biotech, materials science, aerospace manufacturing, veterinary medicine, air traffic operations, finance, and more.
