Facilitating confidentiality agreements is a cornerstone of the EERC's commercialization activities.

Confidentiality for industrial clients seeking to maintain their competitive edge is provided through North Dakota law, which allows for practical confidentiality agreements between the EERC and its partners.

EERC Memoranda of Understanding
The EERC has executed several short-term, renewable memoranda of understanding with private sector companies. These memoranda are "agreements" to pursue specific technology applications or other opportunities and serve as the basis for subsequent formal contractual relationships.
