EyeROV was selected for Prime Minister Modi's official business delegation to Norway.
Co-founder and CTO Kannappa Palaniappan P. represented EyeROV at the India–Norway CEOs Roundtable and High-Level Business and Research Summit in Oslo.
EyeROV submitted a strategic roadmap for stronger India–Norway collaboration in ocean tech, underwater robotics, and the blue economy (sustainable use of ocean resources).
The startup proposed an 'India–Norway Marine Tech Innovation Corridor' for joint research, market access, and collaborative innovation.
The proposal identified cooperation areas such as subsea engineering, green shipping, autonomous underwater systems, aquaculture tech, and port modernisation.
It also highlighted partnerships in sensor integration, predictive maintenance, and AI-powered marine infrastructure monitoring.
EyeROV presented five proposals to boost maritime tech cooperation, including joint development of advanced ROVs (remotely operated vehicles), AUVs (autonomous underwater vehicles), and marine sensors for extreme conditions.
Other proposals covered AI-driven green shipping technologies, autonomous systems for port modernisation, and robotics for sustainable aquaculture.

EyeROV recently secured a ₹47-crore defence contract from the Indian Navy, showing its credibility in the sector.
Anoop Ambika said EyeROV's participation reflects growing global recognition of Indian deep-tech startups.
EyeROV is a deep-tech startup supported by Kerala Startup Mission.
The delegation signals India's push to strengthen maritime technology ties with Norway.

EyeROV develops industrial-grade underwater drones for inspection and monitoring of critical underwater infrastructure.
It built an AI-powered platform called EVAP for faster data processing and predictive asset management in marine operations.
Products include TUNA (underwater ROV), SAGARA (underwater ROV), iBOAT ALPHA (surface autonomous boat), and EVAP (analytics platform).
Services cover dams, tunnels, oil & gas, pipelines, bridges, maritime, defense, search & rescue, and marine research.

Product: AI-powered remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and unmanned surface vessels (USVs) for underwater inspection and surveillance.
Customers: Infrastructure, energy, and defence organisations, including power utilities, oil and gas companies, ports, and government bodies like the Indian Navy.
How it makes money: Sells ROVs and USVs and provides underwater inspection services on a project basis.
What sets it apart: Indigenously developed, tested in extreme conditions including Antarctic Sea and deep-water volcanic studies.
Operations: Has executed over 150 projects for more than 80 clients across power, oil and gas, ports, shipping, and government sectors.
