Buddywise is revolutionizing workplace safety through AI-powered computer vision technology that detects safety risks in real-time. The Stockholm-based startup connects to existing camera infrastructure to continuously monitor industrial sites for hazards like falls, unsafe behavior, and equipment violations, enabling proactive safety interventions. Founded in 2020 by industry veterans Lamin Faye (former VP of Safety at Vattenfall) and Yigit Can Arin (former Spotify product manager), the company recently raised €3.5 million in seed funding co-led by Kvanted and J12. Their solution is already deployed across Sweden, Finland, Latvia, and Poland in industries from manufacturing to pulp and paper, with notable customers including Stora Enso and Red de Energía del Perú in South America.
