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.

Founded in 2015, HireIO emerged from a simple yet powerful realization: the technology landscape was evolving faster than traditional recruiting could keep up. The founders recognized that while brilliant tech talent was abundant and innovative companies were hungry for it, the connection between the two was often inefficient and impersonal. They saw that game changers in tech - who inspire opportunity in FinTech, SaaS, healthcare, biotech, and AI - needed a partner who truly understood both sides of the equation. From that insight, HireIO was built as the workforce solutions provider that bridges the gap between tomorrow's tech giants and today's tech geniuses. Based in San Jose, California, the company has grown into a trusted partner of Fortune 500 companies and innovative startups, leveraging deep tech industry expertise and human insight to create meaningful connections that transform careers and companies alike. What started as a passion project has become a vital link in the tech ecosystem, supporting equal opportunity and helping businesses expand across the United States.

The Sherwin-Williams Company operates a global manufacturing and distribution network spanning more than 120 countries, producing architectural paints, industrial coatings, and specialized finishing solutions. Founded in 1866 and headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, the company employs more than 64,000 people across formulation, manufacturing, and distribution operations serving architectural, industrial, and specialized markets worldwide. The company's industrial coatings segment addresses surface protection and enhancement requirements across manufacturing applications. Production facilities handle chemistry formulation, large-scale batch processing, and quality control systems designed to maintain consistency across product lines. Distribution logistics coordinate inventory management and delivery networks that serve both professional contractors and commercial customers through retail locations and direct channels. Engineering challenges at this scale include process control in chemical manufacturing, automation of mixing and dispensing systems, inventory management across distributed facilities, and supply chain coordination for raw materials and finished goods. The company's operational scope encompasses research and development laboratories, manufacturing plants with batch processing equipment, warehouse automation systems, and point-of-sale technologies across its retail network.

Symbotic Inc., founded in 2007, develops and deploys AI-powered robotic warehouse automation systems for supply chain operations. The company's platform combines a fleet of fully autonomous robots with intelligent software to handle material movement and warehouse management at scale. The system is engineered to process millions of cases daily across facilities operated by large-scale retail, wholesale, and distribution companies. The technical architecture comprises three integrated layers: autonomous mobile robots that navigate warehouse environments and manipulate inventory, control software that coordinates fleet operations and optimizes material flow, and a broader software ecosystem that interfaces with customer warehouse management systems. This end-to-end approach addresses the full automation stack rather than providing point solutions for isolated warehouse functions. The system is designed to increase operational efficiency and accuracy while reducing labor requirements and operating costs for customers. Symbotic's engineering organization includes robotics specialists, software developers, and systems engineers working from locations the company designates as Centers of Innovation. The team focuses on autonomous navigation, manipulation, fleet coordination algorithms, and the software-hardware integration challenges inherent in deploying robotic systems in active distribution environments. The company emphasizes a systems-engineering approach to warehouse automation, building what it characterizes as an ecosystem rather than standalone robotic hardware. The company serves customers in warehousing, retail, wholesale, and distribution sectors, with deployments at facilities run by what Symbotic describes as the world's largest companies in these verticals. CEO Rick Cohen leads the company, which is headquartered in the United States.

Conagra Brands operates 50 production and distribution facilities throughout North America, managing end-to-end supply chain operations for a portfolio of branded food products that generate $11.2 billion in annual revenue.
