We are innovation advisors – we help you get the funding you need, then support your programme to deliver and exploit it.

Welcome to Axillium

We are a Midlands-based provider of market-leading innovation methodology and management services. Since 2007, we have supported over 190 organisations to drive research and technology innovation from conception to materialisation in the areas of Aerospace, Automotive, Government, National Security, Advanced Manufacturing, and Smart Technology. 

We believe that the UK has the potential to become a global superpower in innovation. The UK’s private and public sector are generating fundamental ideas that could revolutionise how we meet some of the most important challenges facing us today. 

However, ideas alone are not enough; a proven innovation methodology is essential to getting world-changing technologies from the R&D lab into the market. 

At Axillium, we’re on a mission to help unlock the £39.8 billion in government investment across science and technology, reinvent the way PLCs and public institutions execute innovation, foster dynamic new public / private partnerships – and ultimately place the UK at the forefront of innovation in security, sustainability, and safety.

As innovation advisors, we do things strategically, passionately and collaboratively. By working closely with you, we will take our understanding of your business, combine this with our technology and innovation management expertise and provide you with a solution that precisely matches your needs.

Supporting you every step of the way

We understand the resource and infrastructure challenges businesses and government institutions face when attempting to take innovations from conceptual ideas to leading IP. Our approach to innovation is driven by embedding ourselves within your business, understanding your needs, and applying and managing innovation methodology in a way that’s tailored to your organisation. 

As innovation specialists, we do things strategically, passionately, and collaboratively. Our team has an expansive network across supply chain, academia, government, and the private sector to ensure your business is empowered to leverage the full force of the UK innovation ecosystem. No matter where you are in the innovation cycle, we make the innovation process painless and help ensure innovations reach commercialisation and deliver returns.
