Axelera AI has launched the Partner Accelerator Network (PAN), an initiative designed to help solution providers scale edge AI deployments from proof-of-concept to full production. The program offers partners technical training, co-marketing support, and direct access to Axelera’s engineering resources, creating a streamlined path to deliver customer-ready AI inference solutions using the Metis AI Processing Unit (AIPU) platform.Edge AI is unlocking new possibilities for industries like manufacturing, healthcare, and retail, bringing intelligence closer to where data is generated. But moving from pilot to production remains a hurdle for many. Axelera’s new partner program is built to close that gap, giving partners the technical backing and business context they need to turn promising POCs into real, scalable outcomes.“One of the essential goals of our Partner Accelerator Network is helping empower our partners to put their solutions in context for their customers, so they can move beyond speeds and feeds to talk about the real-world business benefits of moving those one-off AI projects into production at scale,” said Alexis Crowell, Axelera AI’s Chief Marketing Officer.“Our comprehensive onboarding experience, including technical training, co-marketing opportunities, and access to both Axelera’s engineering team and technical experts, gives partners the foundation to sell more effectively and drive revenue.”Founding partners include Aetina, Arduino, Astute, C&T Solution, Eurocomposant, Macnica ATD Europe, Rutronic, Seco, and Silicon Applications Group Corp. These partners bring localized expertise, especially in regulated or sector-specific environments where AI deployments must meet performance, cost, and compliance needs simultaneously.“Systems integrators and channel partners bring essential domain expertise and a deep understanding of customer needs and pain points across different market segments,” said Crowell. “With Metis and our Voyager SDK, we’re giving them a highly capable, energy-efficient, and cost-effective platform that they can easily build on to offer scalable solutions that are customized to address specific business challenges.”As interest grows in sovereign and localized AI applications, Axelera is prioritizing flexibility and regional compliance.“Axelera’s Metis platform and company values are naturally aligned with the needs of sovereign and localized AI,” Crowell noted. “Through the Partner Accelerator Network, Axelera empowers partners globally to deliver compliant and secure solutions. Whether that means meeting GDPR compliance and/or additional data privacy or technology requirements in various markets, Axelera provides the tools and resources to build solutions that meet the specific demands of almost any market.”With over 15 participants at launch and a growing base of collaborators, the Partner Accelerator Network is positioned to help organizations scale edge AI quickly and securely—grounded in both technical performance and local relevance.
