About
Vessel X is a deep-tech startup developing AI-powered autonomous surface vessels (USVs) for marine pollution control and real-time environmental monitoring. Our flagship platform, Vatoz, integrates computer vision, sensor fusion, and intelligent navigation to operate in dynamic marine environments.
We are seeking €1,000,000 in investment to transition from pilot deployments to commercial scale. The funding will be used to enable small-scale production, expand our technical and operational team, and accelerate market entry in regions such as Malta, Italy, and the Gulf (including Kuwait).
A key focus will be the expansion of our R&D capabilities, including autonomous surveillance systems, physics-informed and quantum-enhanced AI, and swarm intelligence for multi-agent operations. In parallel, we aim to enter the offshore oil and natural gas market, supporting inspection, monitoring, and predictive maintenance of critical infrastructure.
The team combines expertise in product design, autonomous systems, AI, and advanced computing, with experience across global organizations such as IBM, PwC, and the marine industry. This multidisciplinary structure enables us to bridge research and real-world deployment.
Vessel X addresses a growing global need driven by marine pollution, climate challenges, and demand for data-driven coastal management. Our Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) model enables scalable adoption and recurring revenue.
Backed by EIT Climate-KIC and EIT Community New European Bauhaus, Tübitak, Vessel X offers a strong opportunity at the intersection of blue economy, climate-tech, and autonomous systems.
