Derby, UK – 2 September 2022 – Boeing, a leader in the aerospace industry, and UAE’s Tawazun Economic Council (Tawazun) have invested ₤200,000 in Amygda. This funding will accelerate Amygda’s product development, and offer access to Boeing’s strategic expertise.
Amygda has previously collaborated with Boeing, as one of 10 selected start-ups (amongst 150 applications) to join the Boeing-led Aerospace Xelerated Cohort 3 that focused on artificial intelligence (AI) and autonomous technology in aerospace.
Tawazun develops and manages industrial partnerships to the benefit of the UAE’s sovereignty and wider economic impact and prosperity. The Tawazun Economic Program assists and enables local suppliers, SMEs and start-ups and creates favourable conditions for autonomous economic activities. Tawazun also works to empower technology and innovation.
This investment is of high significance to Amygda as it demonstrates the continuation of cooperation with Boeing, and a new regional investor and partner in Tawazun Economic Council.
Amygda enables transport and industrial sectors to remove over-maintenance, increase the sustainability of existing assets and, by extension enable OEMs and lessors to build new revenue-generating services in terms of servitization offering. Founded by ex-Rolls-Royce engineers, Amygda has customers in the aerospace, rail, and industrial sectors in the UK and US.
“I am so excited to bring on two new strategic investors into backing the vision we have at Amygda. We still have a buzz working around operations and maintenance – it’s not the most glamorous topic, but it’s a behemoth of a topic! Having the backing of Boeing and Tawazun enables us to make progress in new regions, which is always exciting”.
Faizan Patankar, CEO of Amygda
