AN Edinburgh-based tech startup has secured a place on the ATI Boeing Accelerator programme.
Anomalous – whose artificial intelligence (AI) software detects and repairs defects in aircraft parts – beat off international competition from over 250 applicants to the inaugural Boeing and Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI) programme. The ATI Boeing Accelerator will allow Anomalous to establish relationships with global aerospace companies, win investment and engage with the wider sector.

Starting in January, Anomalous founders Euan Wielewski and Matt Davies will spend three months working from London’s Public Hall with Boeing’s global network of experienced entrepreneurs, mentors and investors. Wielewski and Davies will share cutting-edge technical knowledge with other experts, collectively helping to develop sustainability-enabling technologies within the sector.
Wielewski said: “Being selected for the ATI Boeing Accelerator is a huge opportunity for Anomalous and great validation of all the hard work we have put in over the last year. Working with the world’s biggest aerospace company through the accelerator programme will give us a fantastic platform to further develop our product and scale our business.”
Anomalous will also receive a £100,000 equity investment from Boeing HorizonX Ventures along with first-hand access to ATI, Boeing and GKN Aerospace strategists and technical experts. The programme – designed and delivered by European accelerator Ignite – will help Anomalous to grow as a business. Anomalous will also have access to paid proof of concepts (POCs) with Boeing and GKN Aerospace.
Matt Davies, co-founder and CPO of Anomalous, said: “This is a great opportunity for us to build relationships in the industry and deepen our understanding of our aerospace client’s needs. We are excited to continue to meet with teams on the front lines of maintenance and repair to understand their challenges and build a product that can truly enhance their capabilities and productivity.
“Boeing and GKN are globally recognised aerospace pioneers; it is a privilege to be part of this inaugural programme. We are excited to get stuck in.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
