Omnes Capital, a leading European investor in private equity and infrastructure, just announced an investment in Maritime Robotics, a pioneer and market leader in autonomous maritime systems.

The investment forms part of a funding round alongside new growth partner Mustard Seed + Partners (MS+PARTNERS) and existing backers including EnvisionTech, Nysnø Climate Investment, and Umoe, together with the company’s founders, employees, and early supporters.

The capital will enable Maritime Robotics to expand its production capacity, accelerate international commercialization, and scale its dual-use autonomous sea drone systems to meet surging global demand across both civil and defense sectors.

Addressing critical ocean infrastructure challenges

The ocean covers more than 70% of the Earth’s surface and is central to global security, trade, energy infrastructure, and climate monitoring. However, traditional crewed operations face rising operational costs, safety hazards, and efficiency constraints.

Purpose-built autonomous sea drones provide a persistent, cost-efficient, and lower-emission alternative. They deliver critical operations at scale—spanning offshore energy maintenance, hydrographic surveying, environmental monitoring, and maritime domain awareness and protection.

Moving from innovation to global scale

Having successfully delivered hundreds of autonomous systems, Maritime Robotics has built one of Europe’s most credible maritime autonomy franchises, proven across civil and defense missions in extreme operational environments. The company has transitioned from early-stage adoption to fleet-level deployments for tier-one industrial and defense clients worldwide.

With a track record in dual-use applications and a clear defense and security roadmap, Maritime Robotics is positioned at the center of European maritime security, domain awareness, and ocean sustainability.
