Company

We work where new technology meets real operations.

Who we are

Devine Autonomy is an independent advisory firm for autonomous systems, headquartered in Singapore. We work with the people who have to make autonomy work in practice. Operators who need approvals, manufacturers who need customers, investors who need an honest view, and governments that need a clear path from pilot to policy.

We are deliberately independent. We do not sell aircraft, vehicles or software of our own, so our advice on platforms and partners is not tied to a product.

Our approach

From first trial to daily operation.

01

Assess

We look at the operation, the regulation and the market as they really are, and tell you plainly whether the case stands up.

02

Design

We shape the programme. Use cases, partners, approvals pathway, budget and safety case.

03

Connect

We bring the right regulators, operators, manufacturers and funders to the table, and help agree terms.

04

Deploy

We stay with you through approvals, procurement and first operations, until the service runs without us.

How we work

We keep our engagements small in number and deep in involvement. Our clients get senior attention from the first conversation, and we stay with a programme beyond the report. Where a project needs specialist skills, we bring in associates we have worked with before, from flight operations and safety to law and finance.

Independence

We are independent of the manufacturers and operators we work with. We do not take payment from manufacturers to recommend their products, and we tell clients when we have a commercial relationship with a party involved in their project.
