Singapore, September 29 — BeeX, the frontrunner in AI-powered Autonomous Underwater Vehicles, launches its SGD 10 million Series A Round as the company reaches a critical inflection point for its Hovering Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (HAUVs). The timing coincides with global attention on nearshore and offshore infrastructure, as well as underwater assets, driving exponential growth in subsea inspection requirements across multiple sectors.
The global shift towards unmanned underwater operations reflects converging regulatory pressures, economic imperatives, and geopolitical tensions reshaping the industry. Conventional subsea inspections, like professional divers and Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs), require large support vessels, highly specialized operators, or complex safety protocols, which greatly contributes to the high operational costs industries incur in conducting subsea inspection.
