## About

Based in Trondheim, Norway and founded in 2019 by Bjørn Kjærand Haugland, Erik Dyrkoren (CEO), Henrik Stray (COO), and Øyvind Smogeli (CTO), Zeabuz AS offers an autonomy-as-a-service platform to urban ferry operators. In February 2023, Zeabuz AS raised NOK 20 million in seed funding from investors Statkraft Ventures and Yinson Holdings. The firm was founded as a spin-off from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology’s progressive research centre for autonomous marine operations and systems.

The company provides a proprietary autonomy platform that uses artificial intelligence to that can be used in both new designs and retrofits of existing maritime vessels to help increase the safety and efficiency of the vessels while lowering the amount of manning necessary during passenger and cargo transportation.

The company intends to use the February 2023 funding to expand its autonomous system for maritime vessels.
