BIL Technologies maintains a close working relationship with Southern Cross University, providing education services within the School of Resource Management as well as assisting with post graduate research projects.  

The staff of BIL Technologies teaches undergraduate students Forest Operations, Wood Science Conversion and Utilisation as well as Product Development and Marketing.  In addition to these activities, BIL Technologies staff supports postgraduate students by providing technical and supervisory support where needed for project that specifically relate to forest management and resource quality.  This support is often provided without charge and viewed as supporting young people who will provide the ideas for emerging bio-industries.

BIL Technologies staff are also involved in post graduate projects of their own, relating to the genetics of wood quality and the development of simulation software that offers computer based manipulation of virtual forest resources and simulated conversion of these resources.

BIL Technologies is also involved with private sector research projects seeking to develop new products and processes for manufactured goods that greatly reduce cost of production or improve product performance.  These projects are conducted under contracts that demand strict confidentiality, and provide for complete ownership of intellectual property by our clients. BIL Technologies is a service provider in these circumstances and regards the input of ideas and innovation as our product, and the outcome or application as the business of our client.

BIL Technologies is also continually exploring new ideas without the sponsorship of a client, and on occasion presents early results to potential users who are most likely to exploit prototypes or technologies that have been developed.
