Poland-based Surveily raises €2.5M Series A to bring edge AI to industrial safety

For years, industrial safety has relied on manual checks, delayed reporting, and systems that react only after something goes wrong. That gap is still costing companies and workers dearly. A startup out of Poland thinks it can change that by turning the cameras already installed across factory floors into something far more proactive.

Surveily, a Wrocław, Poland AI startup, has raised €2.5 million in a Series A round to advance that vision. The funding was led by Industrial Impact® VC Momenta, with participation from Look AI Ventures, and a second close is expected from a Polish investment fund. The company plans to use the capital to build out its product and expand internationally, with the United States high on its list.

The pitch is straightforward. Most industrial sites already have CCTV systems in place, but those cameras largely serve as passive observers. Surveily turns them into active safety systems. Its software runs locally at the edge, analyzes video in real time, and flags unsafe behavior the moment it happens. No cloud dependency, no lag, no waiting for someone to review footage after an incident.

That local-first approach matters in environments where milliseconds count, and data sensitivity is high. The platform works with more than 98% of existing camera systems and can operate fully on premises, even offline. For companies in sectors such as chemicals, metals, logistics, and energy, this means faster deployment and tighter control over data.

“Our mission is to embed intelligence directly into industrial safety systems,” says Wojciech Tubek, CEO and Co-Founder of Surveily. “By applying edge AI to existing infrastructure, we enable EHS teams to detect risks in real time, intervene before incidents occur, and fundamentally improve safety operation plans. That shift turns safety from reactive damage control to proactive prevention.”

From surveillance to safety: Surveily raises €2.5M to bring AI to factory floors

Surveily’s early deployments suggest the model is gaining traction. In chemical facilities, near-miss reporting increased eightfold. Metal manufacturing sites saw a sharp drop in total safety alerts. Oil and gas operations reached high levels of PPE compliance. Logistics centers reported a meaningful decline in incidents. For operators, those numbers translate into fewer disruptions, lower liability, and more consistent workflows.

The company was founded in 2019 by Wojciech Tubek and Wojciech Turowicz and has been building quietly across several heavy industries. That steady rollout has started to draw attention. Surveily has been recognized by SAP.iO Industry Munich, NVIDIA GTC, and MC Switzerland. In 2025, it received the Central Europe GenAI Value Driver Award from Deloitte and Google Cloud.

Investors are betting that the shift from reactive safety to real-time prevention will stick. “We invested in Surveily because their edge AI shifts the mindset—from safety as compliance overhead to safety as operational opportunity,” says Miroslav Kriz, Principal Partner at Momenta. “The platform is built, deployed, and maintained to meet the realities of industrial environments. That combination of practicality and performance defines Industrial Impact®.”

“What stood out to us about Surveily is how effectively they leverage advanced AI-powered video analytics to improve industrial safety, achieving very high accuracy,” says Martin Dostál, Partner at Look AI Ventures. “Their core differentiator is a modular, edge-native architecture that enables 100% on-premises deployment while ensuring data privacy and low-latency response without cloud dependence — a key advantage in industrial operations.”

At its core, Surveily taps into a simple idea: the infrastructure is already in place. Cameras are installed. Footage is captured. What’s been missing is the ability to act on it instantly. By bringing intelligence directly to the source, the company is trying to close that gap and push industrial safety into a more immediate, preventative model.

With fresh funding and plans to expand beyond Europe, Surveily is stepping into a larger stage. The real test now is scale—how well this approach holds up across different industries, regulations, and operating conditions. If the early results carry through, the humble CCTV camera could take on a far bigger role than anyone expected.
