Large research network Capitalize on SCEC’s global collaboration with over 1,000 scientists across 90 institutions by offering cross-institution partnerships, data integration services, or platform licenses that streamline multi-site research workflows.

Expanded footprint SCEC is broadening its geographic scope beyond Southern California to the Pacific-North America plate boundary, presenting opportunities to license regional risk models, deliver localized simulations, or provide regional emergency planning data products.

Funding momentum Recent NSF and partner funding for earthquake simulation initiatives indicates budget availability for high-performance computing, data analytics, and visualization tools, suggesting targeted proposals for HPC, cloud resources, or collaboration platforms.

High performance culture A history of HPC awards and advanced computation emphasis signals readiness to adopt or co-develop cutting-edge simulation technologies, accelerators, or scalable data pipelines that could be monetized as services.

Policy and preparedness alignment SCEC’s mission to communicate earthquake risk to reduce harm aligns with government and utility stakeholders; opportunities exist to offer risk communication dashboards, training, and compliance-ready data products for agencies like FEMA, Cal OES, and utility providers.
