Turning Robotics

Our destiny is larger than defence-only. We will build a dual-use capable company across borders and industry, that excels at embedding deep domain expertise in mission-oriented software for robotics.
We unify the diverse world of hardware, simplify their usage by tailored UX and automation, and enhance their capabilities greatly with AI. We commoditize the application of robotics for complex tasks in complex environments, increasing their effectiveness by magnitudes, and providing the backbone to implement and run them on a massive scale.

Values that guide us
Our core values define our culture, but we don’t expect perfection. Mistakes are part of being human. What matters is the intent and rigour to apply them in everyday decisions, and to take ownership when we fall short.

Our Journey
The road so far
Intelic was originally founded as Avalor AI in September 2021, based on a shared conviction to protect our society. Only 5 months later Russia invaded Ukraine, radically proving the urgency. Our journey is marked by lessons learned about the brutal realities of warfare and the challenging task of not only innovating for Defence, but making the leap towards scalable deployment.

Our journey is marked by lessons learned about the brutal realities of warfare and the challenging task of not only innovating for Defence, but making the leap towards scalable deployment.
We believe the story of Intelic will be one of extraordinary growth from a small niche defence R&D company, towards a category-defining European software company serving mission-critical sectors across industries.

Start of Avalor AI
Maurits and Jeroen met each other during their prototyping work in the newly formed Robotics and Autonomous Systems unit of the Dutch military. With a shared desire to make real operational impact and fulfilling the promise of robotics, they choose to found a company in a small 17m2 office. With a stroke of luck, Marc joined as third co-founder with his expertise on simulation.

Acceleration towards deployment
Months of continuous and relentless testing with end users lead to a product ready for deployment. Highlights are participation in Dutch live fire exercise in the Caribbean, participation in the international exercise AEWE in the US, and countless field tests in close cooperation with the Ukrainian military.
