Somar International is looking to forge a technology transfer partnership with you.

Looking for a technology transfer opportunity which gives you exclusive manufacturing rights in a national or regional territory? Looking to manufacture new technology with a low cost entry point and high margins, using locally sourced or manufactured components to minimise shipping costs and customs duties? Looking for a technology transfer opportunity involving patented energy efficient technology which capitalises on the massive momentum in business for saving energy, cutting costs and acting responsibly in the fight against climate change?

Once you have told us more about your business aspirations, one of Somar International's dedicated Business Managers will contact you personally.

Somar Eluma is an innovative lighting technology which combines advanced photometric design with cutting-edge intelligent sensors to routinely deliver energy savings of 60-80% or greater over conventional industrial and commercial lighting solutions.

You have the opportunity to bring these results to businesses in your territory, and build a successful, green and ethical manufacturing business around energy saving.

Why now?

Timing is everything for starting a successful business venture. So why is the timing right to embark on a technology transfer agreement relating to energy efficiency and climate change?

The aftermath of the Copenhagen conference has placed an urgent need upon governments – and the businesses which they hold jurisdiction over – to reduce carbon emissions to meet internationally agreed targets on either carbon emissions or carbon intensity.

The projects most speedily implemented, resulting in the biggest gains and the fastest return on investment lie not in generating cleaner energy, but in using less of it. Energy efficiency is in the front line of the struggle against climate change, and energy efficient technologies are the first products to receive government incentives in the fight against climate change.

Meanwhile, businesses are still looking for ways to cut costs to survive the worldwide economic downturn, whilst creating a competitive advantage once they emerge from the financial slump. Energy efficiency allows for substantial cost-cutting within a business without sacrificing jobs or other resources, and the benefits that energy efficiency brings to the bottom line will enable companies to emerge into the economic recovery financially stronger than their competitors.

Energy efficiency is also a highly affordable option for businesses attempting to avoid additional expenditure. 'Pay-as-you-save' schemes allow a business to finance the installation of energy-saving Eluma lighting from the energy cost savings made, and the excess profits result in immediate positive cash flow!

Awareness of these facts is constantly accelerating, and by becoming a technology transfer partner with Somar International you can sell Eluma into an expanding marketplace with little competition for such a high-quality product. United Nations information expects energy efficiency projects to achieve payback over three to five years: Somar Eluma routinely achieves payback periods of only 12-24 months!

Act now to establish your own competitive advantage

Somar International is offering you a technology transfer opportunity today which is years ahead of the competition.

Governments all over the world wish to combat climate change by sharing expertise and research on low-carbon technologies via technology transfer agreements. Without technology transfer climate change would be impossible to stop, with much of the world deprived from the innovative solutions required.

However, those technologies belong not to governments but to businesses, who are against technology transfer because of fears of a loss of competitive advantage. Despite promises made in Copenhagen and money pledged for new climate innovation centres for technology transfer, progress in this area of business is expected to be slow.

Somar International, however, is looking for partners right now for the technology transfer of its energy efficient Eluma lighting solution. You have the unmissable opportunity to enter the energy-efficiency marketplace so far ahead of future competition, as well as being backed up by the full support and experience that Somar has developed from eighteen years in the energy-saving marketplace, that you can be sure of establishing a substantial share of a industry which banking giant HSBC expects to be worth $2 trillion globally by 2020

Assembling the key to success

If other companies are worried about surrendering competitive advantage, why is Somar International offering these technology transfer agreements?

2010 sees the launch of a new version of Somar Eluma, further enhancing the efficiency, functionality and profitability of the leading energy-saving lighting solution. The patented new product features a host of new innovative technologies and refinements, including a more programmable, intelligent and robust sensor which is now individually addressable.

More importantly, though, the new Eluma has been designed modularly, meaning that rather than shipping whole units Somar International can now allow most of the components to be sourced or manufactured locally. Small kits containing the sensors and some plastic injection moulded pieces come direct from Somar, and the final product is then assembled easily and locally.

The assembly process itself is child's play: no more taxing than building a Lego model to a set of instructions. The process can be completed quickly and efficiently after the first couple of attempts, and requires very little room as well. Somar International will also help you to source the local components so that the Eluma lighting units work to their optimal capacity.

This leads to a number of advantages both in business and environmental terms. Firstly, the lower cost of the Eluma lights resulting from locally sourced and manufactured components enables greater pricing flexibility. This allows greater price margins in most cases, whilst enabling extra sales to be made by meeting a client's payback period criterion.

Secondly, the size of the innovative Eluma kits being sent by Somar International is a small fraction of the size of the whole lighting units, and are classed as components rather than products. This means far lower importation duties into countries keen to protect local manufacturing, enabling market penetration into territories in which Eluma might have been previously less competitive. In some countries the projected tax saving is in the region of 40%.

Thirdly, far less components need transport by long-distance shipping or aviation. This decreases lead times, but also massively decreases the carbon footprint of the Eluma lights themselves. This makes them more attractive to your more environmentally conscious clients, as well as meeting Somar International's own environmental agenda of reducing carbon emissions and fighting against climate change.

The opportunity is yours

The timing is perfect, the product is world class, the assembly process is simple and the demand is escalating.

Here at Somar International, we hope that you see the huge profit potential that a strategic partnership via a technology transfer agreement could bring to your business, and we look forward to supporting you every step of the way to achieving your business goals.
