Develop with the customer
Begin with a scoped, paid study. Set out interfaces, rights and acceptance criteria in a joint development agreement.
APG × AXON
How we engage
A joint development agreement (JDA) or customer-funded engineering (NRE) starts with a defined question, agreed deliverables and criteria for the next decision.
- 1
Challenge and requirements
Describe the application, system interfaces and decision to be made.
- 2
Paid feasibility or validation study
Agree the study price, measurements, responsibilities and acceptance criteria.
- 3
Agree deliverables and rights to existing and new IP
Assign delivery responsibility, data access and rights to existing and new IP.
- 4
Model, design, prototype and test
Carry out the agreed analysis and document the results.
- 5
Decision based on technical results
Review results against the acceptance criteria before committing further funds.
- 6
Design-in, partner manufacture, licence or next tranche
Choose the next phase once technology, rights, economics and partner responsibilities are clear.
Typical deliverables
- Requirements and interface definition
- Architecture and topology trade study
- Modelling, simulation and design review
- Prototype and test plan
- DPT, EMC, thermal and stability investigation
- Measured dataset and technical decision
- Documentation, BOM and transfer package
- IP and foreground terms per SOW
APG × AXON × PARTNERS
Development may lead to a licence or a new company.
APG contributes relevant technical depth from 13 years of research and project development. Axon Execution brings together customers, business model, team and capital. With an industrial or investment partner, a validated track can become a NewCo.
A building block in the partner’s product
Validated hardware, knowhow or IP can enter the OEM’s product through engineering, transfer or licensing once delivery and field rights are documented.
A standalone company when the case supports it
Combine related tracks in one company when technology, customers and risks fit together. Equity, IP, responsibilities and funding are negotiated for the actual case, not assumed in advance.

- 4Viable economics + team
- 5Funded NewCo decision
Detailed assumptions, financial scenarios and internal review material are preserved on the access-controlled internal site.
