Public-private agreements and projects
We promote partnerships between universities, government agencies, and companies to accelerate applied innovation, technical training, technology transfer, and demonstration projects with measurable impact on productivity, quality, safety, and ESG. We design and implement framework agreements, specific projects, R&D&I, public procurement of innovation (CPI), and PPPs (public-private partnerships) with clear governance, traceability, regulatory compliance, and KPIs.
Value proposition.
- 360° solution: specialized training (in-service), Labs with real cases, technology pilots, evaluation, and scaling.
- Immediate transfer: reusable deliverables (BEP/CDE, BIM/IFC libraries, 4D/5D, dashboards, operating guides, OT/SCADA SOPs, ESG/LCA sheets).
- Robust governance: joint committee, public minutes (summary), KPIs, and periodic review (PDCA).
- End-to-end compliance: public procurement, grants/subsidies, privacy, information security, COI, ESG, and EHS.
- Public sector training: itineraries for municipal/state technicians in BIM, PM/4D/5D, bidding with ESG criteria, hydraulics/SUDS, performance-based fire safety, OT/SCADA.
- International scalability: mirror agreements and multi-city/country replication with regulatory adaptation.
Types of agreements (choose according to objective)
- General coverage: training, Labs, transfer, trade fairs, talent, CPI.
- Defines principles, areas, governing bodies, intellectual property, and confidentiality.
- Specific objective (e.g., “Municipal BIM plan + NZEB public building pilot”).
- Scope, schedule, budget, and KPIs agreed upon.
- Customized programs for technical staff: BIM/CDE, 4D/5D, LCA/ESG, SUDS, FEM for structures, Fire Safety performance, contracting, and technical bid evaluation.
- Includes rubric evaluation, certification, and template repository.
- Joint development of PoC/MVP: digital twin, automated BIM QA, mobility analytics, hydraulic resilience, OT hardening.
- Possible co-financing with competitive funds or regional programs.
- Technical assistance to the entity in designing CPI challenges, functional specifications, validation, and evaluation.
- Pilot projects with independent testing and verification.
- Technical support for project structuring (without replacing the public function): risks, indicators, technical requirements, monitoring, and training of the public team.

Risks and mitigation.
Ambiguity of scope → requirements sheet and change control; acceptance criteria per deliverable.
Incomplete/sensitive data → explicit assumptions, anonymization, and repositories with access control.
Administrative deadlines → planning with intermediate milestones and possible fast-tracks.
Staff turnover → comprehensive documentation, train-the-trainer, and single repository.
Actual or perceived conflicts of interest → declaration, recusal, and traceability in minutes.
Supplier dependency → promote interoperability (IFC/BC3/CSV, open APIs) and alternatives.
