Aviation Defense Partners OXIS's high energy density lithium-sulfur chemistry offers significant weight savings and safety advantages for aviation, aeronautical, defence, and long-range electric vehicle applications. Target OEMs, system integrators, and defense primes for joint development, pilot deployments, and long-term battery supply agreements, leveraging Innovate UK's LiS:FAB funding to de-risk early collaborations.

Scale Manufacturing The company’s state-of-the-art production, testing, and one of Europe’s largest dry room facilities enable rapid prototyping and pilot-scale work. Pursue contract development or toll manufacturing with battery manufacturers, EV suppliers, or aerospace integrators, and emphasize the Brazil-based full-scale production plan to align regional supply and reduce logistics risk for global customers.

IP Collaboration With asset and IP activity surrounding OXIS through 2021, there may be licensing or co-development opportunities to access Li-S know-how and accelerate scale-up. Initiate discussions with Johnson Matthey and other IP holders to explore licensing, joint ventures, or cross-licensing deals that fit customer deployment timelines.

Public Funding The LiS:FAB program demonstrates strong ties to public funding and multi-party collaboration with Innovate UK and research partners. Position OXIS as a partner for funded pilots and customer demonstrations to derisk deployments and accelerate time-to-market in aviation, defence, and heavy-duty electric fleets.

Global Market Entry A UK base coupled with a Brazil manufacturing footprint offers geographic diversification and supply resilience for Latin American, European, and North American markets. Map regional buyers, distributors, and regulatory pathways, and pursue regional partnerships or licensing to accelerate market entry for Li-S cells in targeted industries.
