In 2018, our founders realized something profound about the maritime industry: the traditional methods for inspecting underwater infrastructure were dangerous, inefficient, and environmentally costly. Co-founders Grace Chia and Goh Eng Wei, who had been building Hovering Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (HAUVs) for over a decade as researchers at the National University of Singapore, knew there had to be a better way. So they spun BeeX out of NUS as a deeptech venture with a singular mission - to transform underwater capabilities at scale.
What started as an academic pursuit has evolved into a pioneering Autonomous Robotics-as-a-Service (ARaaS) company that safeguards critical underwater infrastructure across maritime, energy, and defense sectors. By building the world's most compact and intelligent underwater drones, BeeX reduces carbon emissions by over 90% while providing safer, faster, and more efficient subsea operations. Today, operating from their Singapore headquarters with global presence across Europe and Asia, BeeX continues to push the boundaries of what's possible in autonomous subsea robotics, turning decades of operational experience in challenging waters into solutions that protect the assets industries value most.
