These generate precise three-dimensional information about the shape and surface properties of surrounding objects, enabling a wide range of applications. The technology is already being used in the privacy-compliant detection of vehicle and pedestrian flows in retail spaces and public spaces. It also supports traffic flow optimization, urban planning, and the reduction of false alarms in building and security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blickfeld plans to use the additional capital to advance the development of its LiDAR solutions for autonomous driving and various industrial applications. Furthermore, the startup aims to expand its position in key international markets. To this end, the Munich-based company is currently opening regional offices in international markets such as the US and China. Blickfeld currently has approximately 130 employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>EIB Vice-President <strong>Ambroise Fayolle<\/strong>, responsible for Germany and the European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI), says:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&quot;With our venture debt program, we support innovative young companies that need long-term growth capital to fully focus on the further development of their products and their global marketing.

Blickfeld&#039;s 3D LiDAR solutions create entirely new areas of application, whether in autonomous driving and smart mobility, the construction industry, or agriculture. This not only gives companies a competitive edge but also makes the supply chain as a whole more efficient and sustainable.&quot;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>And <strong>Mathias M\u00fcller<\/strong>, Co-Founder and CEO of Blickfeld, explains:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&quot;The EIB&#039;s support is a testament to Blickfeld&#039;s maturity as a company and the confidence its leaders have in the potential of our LiDAR technology. The capital provided by the EIB is the ideal financing instrument for us to expand even more rapidly. We are convinced that our LiDAR solutions make a real difference for numerous industries, and we are delighted that the EIB has recognized this as an important innovative technology to strengthen Europe as a business location.&quot;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The European Investment Bank (EIB) is providing \u20ac15 million to Blickfeld, a manufacturer of hardware and software for smart LiDAR solutions.
