Our story
Karno Tenovuo, Co-founder and CEO of Awake.AI, realized that smart ships cannot interact with the rest of the logistics chain, unless the needed digital interfaces and machine learning models will be developed and linked to an open platform. He and the founding team also saw the increasing environmental issues in maritime logistics. These insights led the four founders to start working with port authorities, port operators and cargo owners who want to be forerunners in maritime digitalization.
Lack of transparency and poor communication among all port stakeholders were identified as key challenges and there was a clear market need for a collaborative and data-driven platform.
Awake.AI was established in October 2018 to create a software platform for port digitalization and autonomous shipping.
