Sectors
Where we go deep.
The US does not reward generalists. Each of these sectors has its own buyers, its own compliance terrain, and its own rhythm of decision-making. We work where we know the people and the pathways — and we say so plainly when a sector is outside our depth.
Defence & dual-use
British defence innovation meets US DoD compliance. ITAR, EAR, CMMC and FOCI navigation, prime and integrator relationships, and the AUKUS-era pathways now open to UK companies.
Read →Aerospace & space
Entry runs through programmes, not trade stands. OEM relationships, export-control navigation, and supplier qualification for aerospace and space companies.
Read →Cleantech
America is buying what you build — utility by utility, city by city. Water, energy and grid, buildings and circular economy.
Read →Next-generation mobility
American fleets and cities are re-equipping. Vehicle technology, charging, autonomy — won one operator at a time.
Read →Life sciences
The US rewards proven health technology. It just makes you prove it again, its way: FDA, reimbursement, hospital adoption.
Read →Aviation safety & compliance
US aviation buys from suppliers it trusts, and trust here is built through certification. FAA pathways, airport and airline channels.
Read →Media, entertainment & creative industries
British creative work travels. British creative businesses need a map of who actually buys in America — drawn by partners inside the industry, in Los Angeles.
Read →Where will you play in this market?
If what you build is proven at home and under-realised here — we should have a conversation. AXEL assesses fit before committing. The conversation is the first step, not the commitment.
