Maris-Tech will Obtain Controlling Interest in the New Company
Rehovot, Israel, Nov. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Maris-Tech Ltd. (Nasdaq: MTEK, MTEKW) (“Maris-Tech” or the “Company”), a global leader in video and artificial intelligence (“AI”) – based edge computing technology, recently announced that it has entered into a collaboration agreement (the “Collaboration Agreement”) with Quantum Gyro Ltd. (“Quantum Gyro”), a pioneer in quantum physics-based inertial navigation technology.
Pursuant to the Collaboration Agreement, the parties will collaborate on the development of the ME-Nav, an advanced global navigation satellite system (“GNSS”)-denied navigation system that integrates Maris-Tech’s edge AI computing platform with Quantum Gyro’s quantum gyroscope technology. The solution is designed for mission-critical applications where global positioning systems (“GPS”) are unavailable or jammed, including military operations, urban warfare, indoor navigation, and autonomous systems.
Also pursuant to the Collaboration Agreement, the parties will form a new entity, which will be jointly owned entity to commercialize the ME-Nav (the “NewCo”).
Quantum Gyro is an innovative company that focuses on the development of a nuclear magnetic resonance (“NMR”). The NMR gyroscope senses rotation as a shift in the Larmor frequency of nuclear magnetic moments as they process about an applied field. The GPS system is prone to disruptions and interference that can impair users’ ability to navigate and may lead to the closure of airspace and maritime routes. Quantum Gyro’s technology is aimed at reducing reliance on GPS.
The companies have defined initial success criteria and a critical path schedule, with development expected to progress over the next 24 months in defined milestones.
Key Highlights of the Collaboration:
- Development Roadmap: A joint steering committee will oversee a structured work plan with quarterly milestone targets.
- Target Budget: Approximately
$1 million , expected to be funded by Maris-Tech and Quantum Gyro loans subject to NewCo’s board of directors and Maris-Tech and Quantum Gyro approvals.
- Commercialization: Maris-Tech will have exclusive global rights to manufacture, market, and distribute the ME-Nav product line.
- Ownership Structure of NewCo: Maris-Tech will own
51% and Quantum Gyro will own49% of NewCo’s outstanding equity interests.
- Governance of NewCo: Maris-Tech will appoint 2 directors and Quantum Gyro will appoint 1 director.
“We believe that this collaboration combines Maris-Tech’s proven edge AI video intelligence with Quantum Gyro’s cutting-edge quantum inertial technology to create a game-changing navigation solution for GPS-denied environments,” said Israel Bar, Chief Executive Officer of Maris-Tech. “GNSS denied navigation has become prominent for moving platforms, especially uncrewed airborne and ground vehicles. For miniature platforms, such as drones, this ability should be small, light, low power and independent of wireless communication. We believe that the tight integration between Maris Edge Computing platforms with Quantum Gyro’s quantum gyroscope technology will provide the ultimate video, AI and navigation solution at the edge.”
Bar added that, “We believe that ME-Nav will enable our customers -militaries, law enforcement, and critical infrastructure operators to maintain situational awareness and operational continuity in the most challenging conditions.”

About Quantum Gyro Ltd.
Quantum Gyro is an Israeli technology company developing quantum-enhanced inertial sensors for high-precision navigation in GPS-denied environments. The company’s technology is using squeezed light that enhances measurement sensitivity by up to two orders of magnitude, surpassing classical performance limits. The company’s source of squeezed light—hot rubidium vapor—provides a higher initial degree of squeezing and greater light intensity, ensuring superior performance compared to existing methods. The GPS system is prone to disruptions and interferences that can impair users’ ability to navigate and may lead to the closure of airspace and maritime routes. The company’s technology is aimed to answer the market need for replace or reduce the dependency on GPS.
