Proposed business & project structure
How Land Passport is intended to be operated, governed and protected — and how partners could take part without any partnership being implied before it is agreed.
Land Passport is a proposed independent digital technology platform within the FOX ecosystem, developed to connect land intelligence, planning, construction and property lifecycle information. FOX Intelligence is the intended platform operator (legal entity to be confirmed), supported by Emperus for architectural, planning and construction expertise.
The platform follows a founder-led commercial model, supported by specialist technical advisers and potential research partners. The University of Derby, Derby City Council, developers and other organisations may participate through formally agreed research, advisory or pilot arrangements. No institutional partnership is implied until confirmed.
Land Passport will operate in accordance with UK GDPR and applicable data protection requirements, including the Data Protection Act 2018, incorporating secure access, data provenance, permissions and transparent information management. Data controller and processor responsibilities will be defined for each participating organisation and project.
Existing intellectual property remains with its respective owners. The platform operator is intended to own or hold appropriate licences to the Land Passport technology, software, branding and proprietary systems. Jointly developed innovations, research findings, licensing and commercial rights will be governed by written collaboration agreements.
The proposed model combines private-sector technology development, university-led research and practical industry pilots. The objective is to establish a commercially sustainable, interoperable platform capable of supporting wider public-sector and private-sector adoption.
Ask before any pilot data is shared — roles, permissions and agreements come first.
