Strategic Partnership
Nottingham Spirk
LAND Labs is proud to partner with Nottingham Spirk (NS), one of America's most celebrated innovation firms with a 50+ year track record of bringing breakthrough products to market. NS has helped generate more than $100 billion in revenue creation across their portfolio — a testament to the power of their consumer insights, full-stack development capabilities, and relentless focus on commercial impact. Together with NS, we're expanding what's possible in vehicle development — pairing their world-class industrial design and product innovation expertise with our OEM-grade engineering and manufacturing discipline.
When a project needs extra firepower, we bring NS in for deep consumer research, end-to-end product development, ITAR compliance support, and cybersecurity certification — ensuring our programs meet the highest standards for both commercial success and mission-critical security. It's a partnership built on a shared belief that bold ideas deserve flawless execution, and that the next generation of mobility will be defined by teams who can do both.

We started LAND Labs to bring OEM-grade discipline to ambitious EV programs.
Across our team, we've shipped vehicles at scale — motorcycles, light commercial platforms and connected energy systems — for both established OEMs and venture-backed challengers.
LAND Labs exists because too many great EV concepts stall between prototype and production. Bridging that gap is what we do, every day, for every program we take on.
