GeoVS Ltd, a Cardiff, UK-based start up that develops interactive 3D visualisation and simulation software platform used in marine and geo-modelling applications including underwater planning, maritime navigation and vessel traffic management, has secured a £250,000 equity investment from Finance Wales.
The University of Glamorgan spin-out company will use the prceeds from the investment to demonstrate the application of its 3D technology within the oil, gas and marine industries and to fully commercialise its 3D software products.
