Try Dealroom →, a Portuguese artificial intelligence startup that turns ordinary cameras into real-time analysis systems. The value of the transaction was not disclosed.
What does DeepNeuronic do? Founded in 2021 in Covilhã by Vasco Lopes and Bruno Degardin, the startup uses AI to analyse video as it is captured. Its software "interprets the context of each situation and transforms video into immediate operational information," letting organisations act while an incident unfolds rather than reconstructing it later (translated from Portuguese).
Where is it used? The technology already operates in airports, on bridges, motorways, at fuel stations, industrial units, and retail spaces. Its client base spans Portugal and Brazil, where a subsidiary supports mobility and security operations.
What changes? DeepNeuronic's technology will be built into AvigilonDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom →, Motorola Solutions' video security platform, reaching customers in more than 100 countries. The 17-person team moves to Motorola Solutions, staying in Covilhã — with part of the team remote — as part of the multinational's global development network.
Why now? Motorola Solutions has been expanding its portfolio in critical communications, video, and access control through acquisitions. The DeepNeuronic deal fits that growth strategy.
The funding backdrop: Since its 2021 launch, DeepNeuronic raised more than €2.5 million from business angels and venture capital funds, plus European grant funding for some projects.
The signal: The deal shows how established security giants are buying real-time AI capabilities rather than building them, folding smaller European specialists into global platforms to move from reviewing footage after the fact to acting as events happen.
