A manufacturing accelerator for innovative projects

All the power of an industrial group, but with the flexibility of a start-up

AXANDUS

Start-ups and INNOVATIVE BUSINESSES

At Axandus, our aim is to accelerate the development of innovative businesses and start-ups, in all aspects – from design and manufacturing to purchasing and business development – helping them to reach a strong competitive position as quickly as possible. The support we provide enables companies to reduce the “time to market” for their innovations, boosting their chances of success.

WHAT IS A MANUFACTURING ACCELERATOR?

Incubators are normally the first port of call for project leaders, offering support from idea to concept. Accelerators then handle the concept to start-up phase, providing assistance when it comes to putting together offers, market intelligence, business development and initial returns. Manufacturing accelerators, meanwhile, deal with the product itself, their goal being to make it easy to manufacture on a mass-scale.

INCUBATORS

Incubators provide project leaders with support, helping them to structure their business plans. They offer advice on everything, from legal status and accounting decisions to marketing. Incubators also host start-ups (renting out offices and/or making workspaces available), in addition to putting start-ups in touch with their partners.

ACCELERATORS

Often confused with incubators, what sets accelerators apart is the speed at which their support programmes operate and the emphasis they place on mentoring. These can be thought of as “commando missions”, taking the form of programmes and workshops. In such cases, the start-up will have already been launched. Programmes will be primarily business-oriented, the end goal being proven access to markets and the ability to produce turnover.

MANUFACTURING ACCELERATORS

Alongside incubators and accelerators, manufacturing accelerators assist start-ups in the process of determining and implementing their production strategies. Industrialization acceleration programmes are endurance tests spread out over several quarters, from design all the way through to ramp-up. These programmes are executed by expert teams responsible for overseeing and performing tasks, enabling start-ups to redistribute their resources and to focus on higher-yield tasks.

THE Axandus METHOD

Expertise and design

We carry out an expert analysis of your product’s first level of maturity, before drafting a precise technical specification and putting forward possible improvements with a view towards production.

Sourcing and procurement

We cost the sourcing and procurement of the components required to make your product, using EFI Automotive and Sercel’s supplier databases to get you the best possible price.

Prototyping and validation

Industrial prototypes are produced and tests are carried out in order to validate the functionality of the product (compliance with technical specification).

Manufacturing and production

Support with the launch of the production process within your organisation, on the premises of EFI Automotive or Sercel, or on the premises of a third party manufacturer.
