International Science and Technology Cooperation

NLR partners with technical institutes in allied countries—as well as U.S. companies, universities, and other national laboratories—to advance shared science and technology cooperation goals.

NLR supports international energy goals by validating and piloting innovative technologies, testing systems, advancing performance standards, and applying performance simulation and optimization tools. These efforts are grounded in world-class energy systems analysis and best-in-class data, modeling, and cross-sector expertise, helping countries assess advanced technologies across buildings, industry, power, and transportation and identify pathways to improve overall energy system performance. Further, these strategic partnerships reduce technology risks and market barriers, helping unlock new opportunities for business investments and job creation.
