Nice-based startup Cosma raises €2.5 million to industrialize its drone fleet used for mapping deep-sea ecosystems.
The funding round was led by WIND and Ternel, with support from other investors, including 50 Partners, Caisse d’Épargne Côte d’Azur, and IFREMER.
Cosma's technology involves autonomous underwater robots collecting images to generate photographic seabed models and locate protected species, contributing to ocean biodiversity preservation.
The funding will enable Cosma to expand its drone fleet for deep-sea operations, enhance its software platform, and cater to public and private clients at a European level.
