DRI Launches New Corporate Partners Program

Earlier this year, DRI launched its Corporate Partners Program. This program seeks to increase corporate engagement at DRI and expand the reach and awareness of DRI with businesses in Nevada and beyond.

The program will work to attract science-minded corporations whose missions align with DRI’s mission and work. The DRI Corporate Partners will meet annually with DRI leadership and have access to the directory of other corporate partners.

DRI is thrilled to announce that Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix is our first official Corporate Partner. “Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix is excited to join DRI’s Corporate Partners program. This partnership aligns well with our sustainability goals and we look forward to working with DRI in the year ahead.” – Lori Nelson-Kraft, Senior Vice President of Corporate Affairs, Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix.

Recently, in celebration of Nevada Day, DRI highlighted the work that our scientists do across this great state.

Whether it’s analyzing ice cores in the Alps, working with local communities to ensure access to clean water in Ghana, or supporting K-12 educators as they bring high-quality, hands-on STEM education to Nevada’s classrooms, the projects our scientists undertake are tied together by a common goal – to help create a more sustainable and resilient environment for all people to live, grow, and prosper.
