AN Edinburgh-based tech start-up is to join world-class players in aerospace after securing a place on a Boeing accelerator programme.
Anomalous, whose artificial intelligence-based software detects defects in aircraft parts, beat off international competition from over 250 applicants to the inaugural Boeing and Aerospace Technology Institute programme.
The ATI Boeing Accelerator will allow Anomalous to establish relationships with global aerospace companies, win investment and engage with the wider sector.

Starting in January, Anomalous founders Euan Wielewski and Matt Davies will spend three months working in London with Boeing’s global network of experienced entrepreneurs, mentors and investors within the sphere of Industry 4.0.
Mr Wielewski said: “Our software helps inspection and maintenance teams find problems in any number of aircraft parts, from fan blades to other key engine components.
“The use of AI can make inspection faster and more accurate - an advantage that can save money, and even lives."

He said: “Being selected for the ATI Boeing Accelerator is a huge opportunity for Anomalous and great validation of all the hard work we have put in over the last year. Working with the world’s biggest aerospace company through the accelerator programme will give us a fantastic platform to further develop our product and scale our business.”
Anomalous will also receive an £100,000 equity investment from Boeing HorizonX Ventures along with first-hand access to ATI, Boeing and GKN Aerospace strategists and technical experts.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
