Prophesee named to La French Tech 120

PARIS – February 20, 2023 – Prophesee today announced it was named to the French Tech Next120 list, a recognition and support program for top startups from the French government. The prestigious annual list recognizes France’s highest performing startups confirmed by the amount of funds raised and/or hypergrowth of their revenues. Coming off a fundraise round that elevated the company to be the EU’s most well-funded fabless semiconductor startup, inclusion in the FT120 further solidifies Prophesee’s unique position as a European leader in the vision sensors ecosystem.

“We are pleased to have La French Tech’s support for our company’s vision. This recognition not only validates our strategy but underscores the growing importance of investment in deep tech, and semiconductors specifically here,” said Luca Verre, co-founder and CEO of Prophesee. “We are confident that France can be a significant actor in driving innovation across the global electronics industry in important sectors such as consumer devices, IoT, Industry 4.0 and automation. Our success in establishing a worldwide ecosystem and fast-growing community of 7,000+ partners, developers and innovators around our event-based vision approach is a testament to that.”
