Founded in 2017 by Mathias M\u00fcller, Florian Petit, and Rolf Wojtech, Blickfeld develops and produces LiDAR sensors and perception software. These solutions provide high-resolution three-dimensional environmental information and enable numerous applications ranging from autonomous transportation and mobility to smart cities, industrial applications, and security. With the current funding extension, Blickfeld plans to further develop sensors and software to further advance the reliable capture and use of 3D data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the last financing<\/a> The Munich-based company was able to launch the Cube 1 and Cube Range 1 3D LiDAR sensors for industrial applications in series production. In addition, the company has rolled out several large-scale implementation projects, such as the recording and analysis of passenger flows at airports and the volume measurement of bulk materials in product warehouses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New offices in Asia and the USA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the company's current distribution partners in 13 countries, including Germany, Canada, China, and Japan, the new financing round will support the opening of offices in the US and Asia, thus furthering Blickfeld's international presence. The new offices will serve to expand an integrator network to make products available for applications worldwide faster and in larger quantities, and to meet demand in the key US and Asian markets. In addition to growth in new markets, Blickfeld also plans to expand its workforce, with a focus on the sales team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In early 2022, Blickfeld also plans to expand its product range with new perception software with functions such as object detection, classification, tracking, and counting. Application areas include industry, smart traffic, security, drones, and crowd analytics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accelerate the path to internationalization<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mathias M\u00fcller<\/strong>, co-founder and CEO of Blickfeld, says:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

"The additional funding in this investment round confirms investors' continued confidence in our vision to capture and analyze the world with a comprehensive solution. We are proud that our products are now used by companies and organizations around the world! Now, we are accelerating our path to internationalization and aim to further diversify our unique product range through this financing. The strong network of our new investor NFC in Asia and the US will be of great value to Blickfeld in quickly and sustainably establishing a foothold in the US and Asia."<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

And J\u00f6rg Strauss<\/strong>, Senior Vice President & General Manager Business Line Visualization & Laser ams Osram<\/a>, says:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

"As a long-standing partner, we have supported Blickfeld from the very beginning. By combining Blickfeld's proprietary MEMS technology with our industry-leading 905 nm edge-emitting laser components, the Blickfeld sensors demonstrate the capabilities of LiDAR technology in real-world use cases and at industrial scale. We look forward to continuing to support Blickfeld's growth in the future."<\/p>

<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGroundbreaking new perspectives for key industries\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tiffany Luo<\/strong>, CEO of New Future Capital, adds:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

"We are delighted to support Blickfeld in this exciting growth phase.
