Strategic partnerships NGI has active collaboration and MOUs with OmniPower and STi Co., Ltd., and has engaged with AFWERX for a Direct-to-Phase II SBIR funding. This indicates a traction path for joint development and sponsored R&D projects that can be leveraged to position joint customer solutions in high-power, HVDC, and advanced packaging markets.

Defense and aerospace angles With AFWERX Direct-to-Phase II SBIR funding and NASA SBIR potential via in-space aluminum nitride manufacturing initiatives, there are opportunities to target defense and aerospace customers seeking rugged, high-performance substrates and coatings for power electronics, RF, and directed energy applications.

High value substrates Nitride Global’s aluminum oxynitride copper substrates enable high-voltage insulation with substantial thermal resistance reductions, presenting a compelling value proposition for customers in high-power electronics, laser systems, and high-speed communications needing reliable thermal management and dielectric performance.

Accelerator visibility Participation in the Plug and Play Semiconductors Accelerator cohort and upcoming Expo Day at Plug and Play’s NeoCity facility provide credibility and access to a network of corporate partners, investors, and system integrators ideal for opening pilot programs and early adoption deals.

Market readiness and funding NGI has demonstrated revenue activity and secured funding of several million dollars while aligning with government and industry programs, signaling a favorable environment for customers seeking proven technology and potential cost sharing or subsidized development through collaborations.
