01
Partnerships
Partner with Nelix on attested inference silicon
We work with design partners, OEMs, infrastructure operators, and the foundry & IP ecosystem to take Attested Infrastructure Inference from FPGA validation to deployed, proof-carrying fleets — InferEdge™ JBIA, SecureGrid™, and the TrustCore™ Trust Continuum, engineered in Accra for real field-deployment conditions.
01 — How We Partner
Four ways to build with us
FPGA Evaluation Access
Design partners evaluate SecureGrid™ and InferEdge™ on FPGA under NDA — exercising the full Attested Infrastructure Inference path before silicon exists: JBIA inference, ICSM completion, and PCI export.
Co-Development
OEMs and system integrators co-design Nelix silicon into products — InferEdge™ reference designs, SDK preview builds, and roadmap influence on the AII specification ahead of tape-out.
Fleet Deployment
Utilities and infrastructure operators pilot and scale attested fleets on the Nelix Compute Platform — Proof-Carrying Fleet Operations from meter endpoint to control plane, resilient through intermittent power.
Silicon Roadmap & IP
Foundry, OSAT, IP and EDA partners — and investors — back the FPGA validation → first-silicon path, with InferEdge™ and TrustCore™ IP available to license from first silicon onward.
02 — How We Engage
From evaluation to deployed fleet
Every engagement follows the same disciplined path: prove the AII architecture on your terms under NDA, pilot it on your infrastructure, then scale through supply or IP licensing agreements.
01
Evaluation
Under NDA: architecture and security-model briefings, plus FPGA evaluation of SecureGrid™ and InferEdge™ — exercising JBIA inference, ICSM completion, and PCI export before silicon, with direct access to the engineers writing the RTL.
02
Pilot
A scoped pilot on your infrastructure with FPGA evaluation units, integration against your head-end or control systems, and Proof-Carrying Fleet Operations validated against jointly-agreed success criteria.
03
Deployment & Licensing
Volume supply and IP licensing from first silicon onward — fleet attestation, signed OTA, and offline PCI queueing through the Nelix Compute Platform.
03 — Where We Are
Partnership Impact
Nelix is pre-silicon, with SecureGrid first tape-out targeted for 2029. An honest snapshot of our current development stage.

04 — Supply Chain & IP
A supply chain you can audit
Attested Infrastructure Inference starts at the silicon boundary — so critical infrastructure deserves to know where its silicon comes from. This is the lifecycle we are building: designed by Nelix, fabricated and packaged at established partners, provisioned and deployed under a verifiable chain of custody through the TrustCore™ Trust Continuum.

InferEdge™ Accelerator IP
JBIA inference IP
Joule-Bounded Inference Architecture — an INT8 / INT4 systolic engine with on-chip SRAM compute-in-memory, ICSM completion under Energy Contract, and PCI export, in a sub-15 W envelope. Available for licensing from first silicon onward.
TrustCore™ Trust Continuum IP
Hardware root of trust IP
PUF-derived identity, measured boot, attestation bundles, and PCI signing at the export boundary — the Trust Continuum designed into partner SoCs, targeting NIST and PSA Certified evaluation paths. Available for licensing from first silicon onward.
