Zelim, an Edinburgh based start-up pioneering unmanned search and rescue solutions, including the world's first remotely operated rescue vessel, has secured £2.3m equity investment.Most of the funding comes from lead investor, Kero Development Partners and Aberdeen based I7V, who are following initial investment in Zelim’s seed round in 2020. The company recently launched its ‘Swift’ rescue conveyor and will release ‘Guardian’, a fast rescue craft, with the flexibility of both crewed and uncrewed operation modes, in 2023. Zelim has its sights set on the whole maritime sector but has focussed to date on the offshore energy market to launch its technology. The company is also funded by the Offshore Wind Growth Partnership (OWGP), an industry backed programme supporting innovative UK supply chain companies.
