Strategic Partnerships SFU actively pursues cross-sector collaborations in environmental learning, health research, and geoscience, as shown by Terralingua partnerships, Surrey Hospitals Foundation initiatives, and joint research programs. This creates opportunities to offer sponsored research management, industry-funded labs, and collaborative programs with public and private partners.

Healthcare Collaboration Recent health research partnerships and a major donation to SFU's School of Medicine highlight demand for health research infrastructure. Target opportunities include health data analytics, clinical informatics, research administration, and partnerships with hospitals and health networks.

AI and Data SFU supports AI and data initiatives with grant-funded projects in forecasting and data integration. This signals demand for AI platforms, data science consulting, research compute, and specialized geospatial analytics tools suitable for environmental and energy applications.

Fundraising Tech The use of a fundraising platform indicates active donor engagement and infrastructure. Opportunities include modernizing donor management, analytics, and engagement platforms, with security and governance aligned to university standards and integration with campus systems.

Alumni Engagement A large and globally distributed alumni network enables opportunities for enterprise alumni platforms, career services, mentorship networks, and continuing education partnerships that can be monetized through programs and sponsored events.
