Cellula Robotics has been selected to participate in the Maritime Defence and Security Applications of Ocean Technologies program in the United Kingdom through the Canadian Technology Accelerators (CTA) initiative.
The program is led by the High Commission of Canada in the United Kingdom and delivered in collaboration with BMNT. It is designed to support Canadian companies developing advanced ocean technologies that align with shared Canada–UK maritime defence priorities. As maritime security challenges evolve, the initiative emphasizes the importance of structured collaboration between allied nations and industry partners.
The CTA program facilitates direct engagement between Canadian innovators and UK defence and industry stakeholders, strengthening pathways for operational alignment and long-term capability development. Cellula will join a cohort of Canadian ocean technology companies in London in March to explore pathways for operational collaboration.
Richard Mills, Chief Commercial Officer, commented, “Canada and the United Kingdom share a strong maritime heritage and a common set of emerging security challenges below the surface. Programs like this create the structured dialogue needed to ensure advanced subsea technologies are integrated in ways that are operationally credible and aligned with allied priorities.”
Cellula Robotics specializes in the design and production of long endurance Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) built for persistent and long-range missions. These platforms are engineered to support under-ice Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR), subsea monitoring, mine warfare, and infrastructure inspection.
The company’s focus on endurance, integration, and operational reliability reflects the increasing requirements of modern maritime defence environments. Participation in this program builds on the Cellula’s existing engagement within the UK and allied defence ecosystems while reinforcing its commitment to international partnerships.
