Founded in 2020 in Lorient, Seaber designs and builds compact autonomous underwater vehicles (micro-AUVs) that can dive to 300 metres and operate for 8–10 hours while carrying interchangeable payloads such as cameras, sonars and scientific sensors. The 20-person company controls both hardware and software, enabling rapid deployment and high modularity. In less than three years, it has industrialised its first model and sold more than 100 units on every continent, serving oceanography, water-quality monitoring and defense customers. Management reports that revenue has been doubling annually and is aiming for €8 million of sales in 2025 and 100 drones sold per year globally by 2030. Growth is further supported by strategic partnerships, including a collaboration with U.S. water-management giant Xylem on the EcoMapper Nano. Fresh capital will fund accelerated international expansion and deeper penetration of scientific and defense markets.
