CHEMICAL INTELLIGENCE,

Autonomous micro-spectrometer networks and real-time AI insights for energy, climate, and security.

MISSION

A MORE ACCURATE, EFFICIENT FUTURE

We're on a mission to bring cost-effective, lab-quality chemical insights to humanity's most critical endeavors with advanced spectroscopy and AI technologies. We believe that the future of our natural resource, defense, and environmental stewardship economies hinges on our ability to observe and understand the chemical world at scale and in real time.

TECHNOLOGY

MICRO-SPECTROMETER NETWORKS

Networks of Neo Blue's AI-enabled micro-spectrometers can be deployed in the world's most challenging environments, providing unprecedented real-time visibility into geological, industrial, and battlespace conditions. Small enough to fit in a micro-drone, yet powerful enough to deliver lab-quality isotopic measurements, our payloads redefine the possibilities for on-site analysis and decision-making.

INDUSTRIES

HIGH-IMPACT APPLICATIONS

From the frontier of oil and gas exploration to the front lines of the security industry, Neo Blue provides actionable chemical insights for safer, faster, and more efficient operations.
