Autonomy Runway

U.S. market entry

Foreign technology. American production.

What it is

Autonomy Runway helps international drone and robotics companies find American partners to enter the U.S. market through joint ventures, technology licensing, and U.S. assembly. A company in Europe, Asia, Latin America or any other country the platform accepts shares what it needs, and U.S. companies with the production capacity, certifications and facilities respond. These partnerships create a path to American production.

What it does

  • The BoardPost what you are looking for: a U.S. production partner, U.S. capital or a distributor. A post for a U.S. production partner reaches the U.S. companies looking for foreign technology and the U.S. factories open to foreign partners; a verified company that fits expresses interest, and you talk by message.
  • Partner MatchTell it what you need: a U.S. manufacturing partner to build your product in the United States, a U.S. partner for a joint venture, U.S. buyers for what you make, or financing for your U.S. expansion. It picks your best match among the organizations on Autonomy Runway by capability, location and your requirements, researches that match on the web, its page, its website and public records, and writes your report: why it fits, the opportunity for both sides, what to watch for, and how to open the conversation.
  • The U.S. Entry PlanWith the U.S. Entry Package: the steps of entering the U.S. by the route you choose, a U.S. production partner, a joint venture with a U.S. company, your own U.S. company or a U.S. distributor, each step with its official source, an owner, a due date and reminders. General information with links to the official sources, not legal advice, and no route is the one to choose.
  • Monthly U.S. partner matchesWith the package: each month, a private list of U.S. organizations on Autonomy Runway whose stated capabilities fit what you are looking for, with one line on why each fits. The organizations are not told they are on your list; you reach out through their page. Autonomy Runway takes no fee or share of any deal.
  • A place on the BoardWith the package: your company stands in the Board's row Companies seeking U.S. partners, with its country and what it seeks, in turn with the other companies that hold the package.
  • The documents and the checkWith the package: everything in Premium Profile, a Company checked mark after Autonomy Runway confirms your registration, website and business email, and Document Check credits with each six-month program. The Company Toolkit, which drafts the capability statement and spec sheets, works out the financial projections and helps write the business plan and pitch deck, comes with the company account.

More about the U.S. Entry Package

The package is for a drone or robotics company whose company country is not the United States. A company from a blocked country cannot join the platform. An organization holds either Premium Profile or the U.S. Entry Package, never both.

One payment covers six months, and a second payment while the six months run adds six more after them. When the package ends, the plan stays readable, no new list of matches is made and the lists already made stay, the place in the row and the reminders stop, and the Company checked mark keeps its own date.

Coming to the U.S., in the Financing section, explains why many companies build in the U.S., the U.S. programs that help foreign companies invest, and finding a U.S. production partner or joint venture partner.
