Process and simulation experts
Partners who deepen plant realism, battery-process priors, and deployment fit.
Partner tracks
Partner categories
The focus is selective collaboration that improves product credibility, deployment readiness, or ecosystem alignment.
Inspection and data-stack partners
Teams whose systems already hold critical pieces of the factory story.
Academic and research collaboration
Oxford and partner research groups across battery materials, ML systems, and physics-informed modeling.
Government and policy programs
Currently in an Innovate UK funding application as part of an Oxford-led consortium. Open to Faraday Battery Challenge, EU Horizon, and adjacent public-sector battery and energy programs.
Where collaboration fits
Different partners matter for different reasons
| Dimension | Primary value | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Technical experts | Battery-process realism | Strengthen the product architecture |
| Platform partners | Stack alignment | Reduce integration friction for shared customers |
| Research collaboration | Joint research, dataset access, and academic publication | Strengthen the inference layer through structured collaboration |
| Government and policy | Aligned manufacturing, sovereignty, and traceability goals | Currently applying for Innovate UK funding via an Oxford-led consortium; open to additional government-backed pilot structures |
Collaboration model
Product discipline comes first
Partnerships strengthen deployment readiness while respecting manufacturing confidentiality and operational constraints.
Strategic deployment discussions
For manufacturers exploring where Lychee fits into a real plant workflow.
Technical collaborations
For battery, process, and simulation experts informing product direction.
Commercial channel alignment
For ecosystem partners whose products already sit in the manufacturing stack.
Next step
Choose the right strategic path
Discuss strategic deployment
For manufacturing groups evaluating a plant-facing rollout path.
Discuss Strategic DeploymentScope a pilot
Start with one line, one defect family, and one KPI.
