Nauticus Robotics announced the signing of an agreement for a strategic investment of up to $50M with Master Investment Group. The agreement contemplates an initial $3M investment tranche for Nauticus' UAE business unit startup activities, with additional capital available to support further expansion. The proposed investment is intended to fund the establishment of Nauticus' first international manufacturing and offshore robotics services hub in the United Arab Emirates, accelerating global deployment of Nauticus' Aquanaut autonomous subsea robotic platform. Under the proposed transaction, Nauticus plans to form a dedicated manufacturing, sales, and offshore services business unit in the UAE. Initial facility sites are already under evaluation. Master Investment Group is expected to fund facility development, workforce localization, and initial manufacturing capability, positioning the operation as a regional center for advanced subsea robotics. Nauticus has already initiated the formation of a local legal entity in the UAE and completed preliminary identification of a potential site for the planned facility.
