Symmetry Advisors Announces Translational Grant Funding for the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology
Sponsored research grant from a global telecommunications company will fund translational research in advanced audio technologies.
San Diego, CA, December 06, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Symmetry Advisors announced today that Calit2, the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology, has been awarded translational grant funding from a global telecommunications company, for the development of advanced digital audio technologies.
Symmetry originated and developed this opportunity under a Capability Based Innovation initiative.
"Capability Based Innovation is a variant of demand-pull strategy, developed by Symmetry Advisors to identify emerging market opportunities for leading innovators," said Riccardo Cannaviello, founder of Symmetry Advisors. "In 2008, our firm took a decisive step to develop a creative alternative to the conventional, technology-push approach to commercialization. A year later, our success in originating and developing this opportunity validates our position that Capability Based Innovation delivers clearly superior results."
"Symmetry Advisors has put us together with a major industry partner whose R&D needs perfectly match our strengths. The result is an exciting collaboration with a prestige partner with global reach," said Peter Otto, Head of Research & Development in the Sonic Arts program at UCSD's CalIT2.
