Company mission
To help enterprise EHS teams revolutionise how they make proactive safety decisions that help contribute to a safer work environment.
95% employee growth in 12 months
Our take
Health & Safety in industrial, factory, and warehouse environments has long been bemoaned for how it slows work processes down, and for how imperfect it is. It often takes accidents to happen (or be narrowly missed) for interventions to take place, and as a result, around 5,000 people a year are still killed in workplace accidents in the US alone.
Protex AI is out to make workplaces safer by turning CCTV cameras into AI-powered safety auditors. Its software plugs into an existing CCTV system and maps the actions of people, vehicles, and other equipment, and can then automatically capture and report on risks – ultimately allowing H&S teams to make more data-informed decisions.
Since being founded in 2021, Protex AI’s forward thinking approach has seen it expand into locations across Ireland, the UK, and the US, winning major customers such as Marks & Spencer and P&G. Now fresh from a major funding round, the startup is getting ready for a significant expansion, with a keen focus on the US in particular.
