Rocky Mountains Asset Management Ltd. Launches Global Academic Partnership Program to Build Future AI-Driven Financial Talent Base
In an ambitious move to secure its position at the forefront of financial innovation, Rocky Mountains Asset Management Ltd. (RMAM) has announced a comprehensive global initiative aimed at collaborating with top-tier universities and research institutions. This initiative, known as the Global Academic Talent Partnership Program (GATPP), marks a major step in the firm’s long-term strategy to build a sustainable talent pipeline equipped with the skills necessary for the rapidly evolving world of AI-powered asset management.
A Vision for the Future of Finance
Founded on the principles of innovation, integrity, and impact, RMAM has consistently demonstrated its ability to adapt to the complexities of global financial markets. Headquartered in a region known for technological growth and natural resilience, the company has embraced data science, quantitative finance, and artificial intelligence as critical tools for navigating uncertainty and optimizing returns.
With economic conditions becoming more volatile and traditional investment models struggling to meet contemporary demands, RMAM is doubling down on its commitment to building a new generation of finance professionals—individuals who not only understand the fundamentals of asset management, but also possess cutting-edge expertise in AI, blockchain, machine learning, and behavioral economics.
The GATPP is designed to bring together academic excellence and real-world investment challenges in a mutually beneficial partnership that will shape the future of finance.
Strategic Objectives of GATPP
At its core, the GATPP program has four primary goals:
Talent Identification & Recruitment: Establish a global talent pipeline through close engagement with students, PhD researchers, and faculty across finance, computer science, and AI disciplines.
Collaborative Research & Development: Partner with academic institutions to fund and co-develop research initiatives focused on AI-driven investment models, decentralized finance (DeFi), macroeconomic modeling, and market behavior prediction.
Education & Training Programs: Develop internship and residency programs, summer schools, AI bootcamps, and joint seminars to equip students with hands-on experience and prepare them for roles in AI asset management.
Thought Leadership & Community Building: Host international conferences and publish joint research to foster a vibrant knowledge-sharing ecosystem that bridges academic theory and financial practice.
Global Partnerships and Reach
In its initial phase, RMAM has begun formal partnerships with several globally respected universities, including:
University of Cambridge (UK) – Collaborating on AI algorithmic ethics in financial decision-making.
MIT Sloan School of Management (USA) – Joint research on high-frequency trading models and deep reinforcement learning.
Tsinghua University (China) – Exploring macroeconomic modeling using neural networks.
ETH Zurich (Switzerland) – Partnering on predictive analytics for commodity and energy markets.
National University of Singapore – Joint curriculum development in AI governance and DeFi systems.
These partnerships reflect RMAM’s commitment to diversity and global inclusiveness, ensuring talent from various cultural, educational, and economic backgrounds have the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to the transformation of global finance.
A Focus on AI-Centered Skillsets
One of the key differentiators of RMAM’s approach is the centrality of artificial intelligence in both its business model and academic collaborations. Through GATPP, RMAM aims to incubate a new breed of finance professionals—referred to internally as “AI Economists”—who possess hybrid competencies across:
Data Engineering & Analysis
Quantitative Finance & Mathematical Modeling
Deep Learning & Reinforcement Learning
Risk Management & Ethical AI Practices
Tokenomics & DeFi Architecture
To support this ambition, RMAM is co-developing specialized AI-focused curricula with its academic partners. This includes coursework in real-time data ingestion, model interpretability, and regulatory compliance for AI decision systems—areas that are often missing in traditional finance education.
Internship and Fellowship Tracks
RMAM will offer structured career pathways through its newly established AI Investment Fellowship and Global Quantitative Internship Program. These programs will allow graduate and post-graduate students to work directly with RMAM’s research teams, developing and testing models used in live portfolios.
Participants will gain exposure to:
AI hedge fund operations
Model validation techniques
ESG-aligned smart contracts
Risk-aware decentralized lending protocols
Quantitative anomaly detection for black swan events
The best-performing candidates may be offered full-time positions or funding to continue PhD-level research in collaboration with RMAM’s research labs.
Creating a Two-Way Value Chain
While the immediate benefit for RMAM lies in access to emerging talent and fresh research, the GATPP is structured to provide equal value to academic institutions. RMAM will contribute not only funding, but also proprietary datasets, cloud computing credits, and mentorship from seasoned investment professionals.
Additionally, the company is establishing an Academic Advisory Board to ensure transparency, knowledge co-creation, and the ethical application of AI in investment decision-making. The Board will consist of academic scholars, economists, ethicists, and RMAM executives.
This balanced approach fosters long-term value creation and mitigates the risks associated with corporate-academic collaborations, such as intellectual property disputes or research bias.
The Role of SR-AI Sentinel and AlphaGuard AI Ultra
An integral part of RMAM’s AI infrastructure is its proprietary AI platforms: SR-AI Sentinel and AlphaGuard AI Ultra (AGAU). These platforms serve as both operational engines and educational tools.
Through GATPP, students and researchers will be granted access to sandbox environments where they can build, simulate, and evaluate investment strategies using SR-AI’s AI agents and AGAU’s multi-layered risk scoring systems.
The ability to interact with real-world financial infrastructure in a controlled setting provides learners with an unparalleled opportunity to test theories, uncover patterns, and prepare for careers in frontier finance.
Societal Impact and Responsibility
RMAM acknowledges that with great technological power comes great responsibility. As such, the company has committed to integrating AI ethics and sustainability into every stage of the GATPP.
This includes:
Ensuring model transparency and interpretability.
Avoiding biases in algorithmic predictions.
Promoting the use of AI for financial inclusion.
Supporting research on climate finance and sustainable investments.
By focusing on responsible innovation, RMAM aims to not only generate alpha, but also contribute positively to the global financial ecosystem.
A Long-Term Strategic Investment
According to Laura Nishimoto, Director of Talent Development at RMAM and one of the architects of GATPP:
“We’re not just filling roles—we’re building the future of finance. This initiative is about nurturing people who can think in systems, solve problems with data, and lead with both intelligence and integrity. These aren’t just internships; they are invitations to shape the future.”
In parallel, CEO Eric Langstrom emphasized the strategic nature of the move:
“Talent is the most undervalued asset in finance today. In a world where data is abundant and markets are increasingly automated, human insight—the kind shaped by rigorous academic grounding and real-world exposure—will be the ultimate differentiator.”
What’s Next?
The first GATPP cohorts will begin their programs in Q4 2025, starting with pilot collaborations in Europe and Asia. RMAM is also preparing to launch an AI Finance Incubator, where top students can pitch ideas for new financial products, with seed funding and advisory support from RMAM’s senior management.
Over the next five years, RMAM expects to expand GATPP to over 40 universities across six continents and produce over 1,000 program alumni—many of whom will take up roles in AI research, portfolio management, and financial policymaking.
Conclusion
As Rocky Mountains Asset Management Ltd. embarks on this global academic partnership journey, it signals more than just a hiring initiative—it reflects a philosophical commitment to reimagining finance as a collaborative, intelligent, and ethical pursuit.
In an era where the future is increasingly written in algorithms and driven by data, RMAM’s investment in education and research may well be the most valuable asset on its books.

Blue Sky Scrubs Honors Nurses Week with 20 Percent Off All Products and a Commitment to Giving Back
United States, 6th May 2025, – In celebration of National Nurses Week, Blue Sky Scrubs, the Austin-based designer medical apparel brand, is proud to announce a special promotion honoring nurses and healthcare professionals everywhere. From May 6–12, all customers will receive 20% off all Blue Sky Scrubs products—no exclusions, no minimum purchase required. This exclusive offer is a heartfelt thank you to the medical heroes who work tirelessly to keep communities safe, healthy, and cared for.
For over 20 years, Blue Sky Scrubs has designed, manufactured, and distributed luxury medical clothing, including handcrafted scrub caps and scrubs, from its headquarters in Austin, Texas. Known for blending style with functionality, the company is deeply rooted in service and gratitude, especially when it comes to recognizing nurses—the backbone of healthcare.
“National Nurses Week is more than a calendar event—it’s a chance to truly honor the people who show up every day with compassion, strength, and selflessness,” said Shelby Marquardt, founder and chief designer of Blue Sky Scrubs. “Our mission has always been to support healthcare professionals, not just with the best-fitting scrubs, but with meaningful gestures that show we care.”
A Week of Style, Savings, and Support
During Nurses Week, Blue Sky Scrubs is rolling out a sitewide 20% discount, valid on all products—including their best-selling scrub caps, performance stretch scrubs, lab coats, loungewear, and accessories. The discount will be automatically applied at checkout on the company’s website, ensuring a seamless shopping experience for busy healthcare workers who deserve a wardrobe refresh.
“Our scrubs are built for long shifts and tough days,” added Marquardt. “But just as importantly, they’re designed to make nurses feel confident, stylish, and valued—because they are.”
Giving Back to Healthcare Communities
In keeping with its legacy of social responsibility, Blue Sky Scrubs is also using Nurses Week as a platform to give back to communities in need. As part of the celebration, the company has pledged to donate scrubs and caps to nonprofit medical missions, nursing school programs, and community clinics across the U.S. and abroad.
Earlier this year, Blue Sky Scrubs supported multiple humanitarian trips to underserved regions by donating apparel to nurses and doctors serving on the front lines in countries such as Honduras, Kenya, and the Dominican Republic. Now, during Nurses Week, the company is expanding its reach by identifying new partners to help equip and uplift even more healthcare workers.
“Every nurse deserves to feel appreciated, no matter where they serve,” said Marquardt. “By outfitting mission teams and educational programs, we hope to spread a message of unity, generosity, and global compassion.”
Healthcare organizations and individuals interested in nominating a clinic or nursing program for donations can do so directly on the Blue Sky Scrubs website. The company will be spotlighting select stories throughout Nurses Week on its social media channels to share the impact these caregivers make.
A History of Heart
Since its founding, Blue Sky Scrubs has always stood for more than clothing. The company was created by Marquardt, a former anesthesiology resident, who couldn’t find scrub caps that combined professionalism with personal style. What began as a side project quickly grew into a national brand—one that now serves hospitals, clinics, and individual healthcare providers across the country and around the globe.
In addition to premium products, Blue Sky Scrubs is known for its commitment to craftsmanship—with each item being handmade using top-quality fabrics, durable stitching, and fashion-forward design. The company is also committed to sustainability, reducing textile waste in manufacturing and using recyclable packaging whenever possible.
“Being a healthcare professional means making sacrifices daily,” Marquardt added. “At Blue Sky, we want to be a part of lifting those professionals up—not just during Nurses Week, but every day of the year.”
Join the Celebration
To participate in the 20% Nurses Week discount, customers simply need to shop at www.blueskyscrubs.com between May 6–12, 2025. No code is necessary—the discount will be applied automatically at checkout. The promotion is open to all customers, whether purchasing for themselves, coworkers, or loved ones in healthcare.
Throughout the week, Blue Sky Scrubs will also be highlighting nurses’ stories and hosting giveaways on Instagram and TikTok. Followers are encouraged to tag their favorite nurse or post a video describing how a nurse has made a difference in their life, using the hashtag #ThankYouNurses. Select participants will win free scrub caps or gift cards as part of the celebration.
