Our Strength is Resolving Challenges

The Trybula Foundation, Inc., works in four primary areas of technology: 1) Workforce Development; 2)Technology Development and Insertion; 3) Emerging Technologies; and, 4) Emerging Companies. Our business efforts range from successfully inserting novel technologies into an organization to working with startups to develop their concept into production worthy products.

Specific Challenges

Workforce Development and Insertion: We have partnered with Newberry Technology Associates to address the workforce shortage of trained, skilled workers. This joint effort builds on the success in developing a skilled workforce in the Upper Midwest meeting an immediate need for a technology savvy employee base. Current efforts are focused in Texas on the semiconductor, aerospace, and med-bio industries. Collaborative efforts with local academic institutions and local companies enable the development of programs that identify and then address special skills and technology understanding for each specific location. Tailored to specific needs. programs can provide some workforce solutions in less than two months.

Technology Development and Insertion: We work with organizations in evaluating hi-tech and emerging technologies to determine the potential for successful inclusion in the organization's strategic direction. With experience that ranges from startups to major corporations, the Foundation's business acumen can help meld the two worlds of business and technology to provide guidance to ensure successful programs.

Emerging Technologies: Developing a new concept, building a prototype, or significantly enhancing existing products are non-trivial efforts.  There are a myriad of challenges including protecting ideas and processes, modifying existing, successful products without destroying current markets, and creating new processes to produce the emerging technologies.  Our experience has worked in evolving successful concepts and planning for manufacturing the desired devices with long term reliability and cost effectiveness.

Emerging Companies: Our work with "start-ups" is strictly on a pro-bono basis. Typically, we will work with from one to three companies at any given time. Our focus in on the development and insertion of technology, business and marketing plans, and job creation. Most small companies that fail are profitable!  Cash flow considerations are critical to the long-term survival of these companies.  We do not accept unsolicited business plans or proposals.  Initial discussions are welcome.

Important Thought
New and emerging technologies are always a challenge. There are numerous warnings about possible dangers, which may not always be accurate. There have been a number of concerns about nanotechnology and that it might cause one to have a myriad of concerns about the possible risk of using nanomaterials/chemicals. Yes, one must be careful and evaluate the risks, but one needs to remember the following quote:

“ While there is no such thing as a safe chemical, it must be realized there is no chemical that cannot be used safely by limiting the dose or exposure. Poisons can be safely used and be of benefit to society when used appropriately. “
--Royal Society of Chemistry
