Avikus, a dynamic player in the AI and Information Technology industries, is forging new paths in maritime autonomy. Founded in 2021 by the Hyundai Heavy Industries Group, the company positions itself as a Maritime Autonomous Pioneer in South Korea.
The company's innovative efforts led to the commercialization of the world's first deep-learning based navigation assistant system in 2020. Since February 2021, Avikus has been supplying these systems to ships associated with Hyundai Heavy Industries, with an ambitious plan to equip over 100 vessels annually.
Avikus harnesses advanced technologies such as sensor convergence, AI-based cognitive technologies (radar, AIS, vision, lidar), and sophisticated ship dynamics for superior navigation solutions. Despite its promising technological and commercial trajectory, the company has yet to secure external investments, presenting an intriguing opportunity for investors seeking to partner with a leader in maritime innovation.
