Global Brain has invested in REGENT Craft Inc., a startup developing seagliders

Global Brain has invested in REGENT Craft Inc. (REGENT), a startup developing seagliders, through its KURONEKO Innovation Fund (KURONEKO Fund).
REGENT is a startup in the United States, established in 2020 by members who have a world-leading track record in the research and development of aircraft and vessels. REGENT builds seagliders, a new category of electric vehicle that operates exclusively over the water that will drastically reduce the time and cost of moving people and goods between coastal cities. REGENT has already succeeded the first demonstration flight of the unmanned seaglider in 2022 and expects its flagship seaglider to enter service by mid-decade.
Global Brain has decided to invest in REGENT because of its advanced technology and competitive advantage. Through this investment, Global Brain will continue to support REGENT's business expansion and product development for further growth.
