Prophesee enters a new phase with €20M financing, Mantara and Hearth
L’Usine Nouvelle highlights Prophesee’s move toward integrated Event-Based Vision solutions for defense, industry and embedded AI
PARIS, June 16, 2026 – Prophesee has entered a new phase of development with a €20 million financing round, the launch of Mantara, and the introduction of Hearth, its new software development platform. The latest developments were featured by L’Usine Nouvelle / Industrie & Technologies in its coverage of the company’s strategic evolution.
At the center of this transition is Mantara, Prophesee’s integrated Event-Based Vision system for drone detection and tracking. Designed around the strengths of event-based sensing, it addresses applications where low latency, fast target detection and robustness in difficult lighting conditions are critical.
Alongside Mantara, Prophesee is expanding its software ecosystem with Hearth, which succeeds Metavision SDK while remaining compatible with it and with OpenEB. The platform is designed to support the development of embedded Event-Based Vision applications, including requirements around cybersecurity, GDPR, AI governance and sensor fusion.
Together, these developments reflect Prophesee’s broader move toward complete application solutions built on Event-Based Vision, while continuing to strengthen the sensing and software foundations behind the technology.
