UK ocean intelligence startup NeuWave Technologies has raised £550,000 in pre-seed funding to tackle one of the offshore industry’s costliest bottlenecks: inaccurate wave forecasts that stall projects and waste billions annually.

Backed by EHE Ventures’ AI Growth Fund, alongside Insurtech Gateway and QVentures, the investment will fuel product development, commercial rollout, and key technical hires.

At the heart of NeuWave’s platform is a proprietary AI-powered forecasting engine that delivers wave condition predictions with up to 20x more accuracy than standard marine models, refreshing forecasts in minutes rather than hours. These real-time insights unlock smarter decisions across navigation planning, emergency rerouting, and metocean reporting, helping operators reduce downtime, protect assets, and de-risk offshore investments.

Marine weather errors cost the industry over £1.2 billion a year and that figure’s growing. A single bad forecast can halt operations, with each idle vessel costing £100K–£700K per day depending on asset class, project stage, and insurance liabilities. We’re solving that with precision forecasting that adapts to local conditions in real-time.

Offshore logistics is a high-friction space where AI can unlock immediate value financially, operationally, and environmentally. NeuWave’s platform has the potential to become the default intelligence layer for marine infrastructure.
