About this report
On a storm-swept Atlantic horizon, a lone figure falls overboard into dark, heaving waters. Moments like this have long relied on sharp human eyes and sheer luck. Today, however, an unassuming Scottish technology venture is quietly changing the odds.
Zelim , an Edinburgh-based startup, has developed autonomous maritime rescue systems that detect and retrieve people from the sea in conditions that would overwhelm human rescuers. In doing so, Zelim addresses a niche but critical challenge: how to save lives at sea faster, safer, and without adding to the risk. Its AI-powered “smart lookout” and uncrewed rescue vessel mark a step-change in maritime safety.
