Protex AI featured in Siliconrepublic

Protex AI, an alumnus of the renowned Y Combinator, is a Limerick-based company that is transforming workplace safety through the power of artificial intelligence (AI). With a mission to revolutionize safety practices, Protex AI uses computer vision technology to identify and mitigate health and safety risks, reducing injuries and creating safer industrial environments. Inspired by a personal incident, CEO Dan Hobbs and his co-founder Ciaran O'Mara developed the idea that most accidents stem from repetitive non-compliant behavior. Recognizing the manual and labor-intensive nature of safety data collection, they harnessed the potential of AI to streamline the process. By integrating their AI-powered system with existing CCTV infrastructure, Protex AI acts as a "third eye" for safety managers, enabling the detection of hazardous behaviors and providing crucial data to proactively prevent accidents. Privacy and GDPR compliance are paramount to the company. In just two years, Protex AI has gained recognition in the start-up community, securing a spot in the Y Combinator program and raising $18 million in funding to expand across Europe and North America. With plans to establish a US office and projected annual revenues of €100 million by 2028, Protex AI is poised to revolutionize workplace safety on a global scale.
