RA’ANANA, Israel, March 28, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rail Vision Ltd. (Nasdaq: RVSN) (“Rail Vision” or the “Company”), a development stage technology company seeking to revolutionize railway safety and the data-related market, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
“In 2023, while we faced challenges and were presented with new business opportunities, it was a year marked by significant progress and milestones for Rail Vision. We sold our first systems, demonstrating the market’s confidence in our technology and laid the groundwork for future success. At the beginning of 2024, we secured a fundraising that strengthens our cash position, enabling us to execute our business plans,” commented Shahar Hania, CEO of Rail Vision. “Since then, we have expanded our footprint in the U.S., forged partnerships with industry leaders like Nvidia, and secured additional purchase orders from U.S.-based railway companies, as we take the first steps of achieving our objectives of increasing our presence in the North American market. We believe that with $3.1 million in cash at the end of 2023, plus the recent $8.7 million that we received in fundraisings and warrant exercises in the first quarter of 2024, we are well positioned to continue to innovate, grow, and become a leader in the railway safety industry. In addition to our business progress, we continue to innovate and have announced the next generation of our AI-based system. Looking forward, we are energized and more committed than ever to driving forward the future of railway safety and efficiency, as we position Rail Vision to reach the forefront of this vital industry.”
